Lying in bed with head lower than lower extremities

• standard adjustable bed
• turning frame
• air-fluidized support bed
• post-trauma mobility bed
• low air loss therapy bed

moves air into the lungs

to maintain adequate air exchange

• long term support
• predetermined volume of air for forced inspiration
• passive exhalation

• short term use
• established maximum pressure reached on inhalation
• passive exhalation

• rarely used
• iron lung
• most commonly used amongst polio population

• ETT
• Nasal intibation is the worst
• oral intibation the patient won't be getting out of bed

• assist mode

positive pressure keeps the lungs expanded and alveoli patent.

• uses PEEP at the end of expirations
• used in weaning from the vent

controls inspiration at timed intervals based on the patients needs

combination of control and continuous positive airway pressure modes

vent cycle is coordinated with the patients respirations

patient works with the vent
