Patients undergoing mechanical ventilation are usually treated in the intensive care unit. Monitoring of these patients is challenging for all members of the medical staff. Understanding the aetiology of respiratory failure as well as the pathophysiological principles is essential for appropriate monitoring and treatment. Besides observation of clinical signs, different monitoring methods have become available including invasive and non-invasive diagnostic tools. Furthermore, knowledge about oxygen supply and oxygen consumption as well as respiratory muscle capacities and workload is important. The current article presents an overview of these issues and evaluates different diagnostic tools to monitor ventilator-dependent patients.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008991 Monitoring, Physiologic The continuous measurement of physiological processes, blood pressure, heart rate, renal output, reflexes, respiration, etc., in a patient or experimental animal; includes pharmacologic monitoring, the measurement of administered drugs or their metabolites in the blood, tissues, or urine. Patient Monitoring,Monitoring, Physiological,Physiologic Monitoring,Monitoring, Patient,Physiological Monitoring
D012121 Respiration, Artificial Any method of artificial breathing that employs mechanical or non-mechanical means to force the air into and out of the lungs. Artificial respiration or ventilation is used in individuals who have stopped breathing or have RESPIRATORY INSUFFICIENCY to increase their intake of oxygen (O2) and excretion of carbon dioxide (CO2).
