Item Fisiología aplicada a la ventilación mecánica(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2024) García Vaca, María del Mar; Giraldo Ortegón, Gustavo Adolfo; Arzuza Jaramillo, Maria José (Directora)Respiratory physiology is based on gas exchange at the pulmonary alveoli level, which is why the diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide is vital to guarantee adequate tissue perfusion and the elimination of metabolic waste substances in order to maintain homeostasis and the correct functioning of the organism. However, respiratory system dysfunction of intra- or extrapulmonary origin, in pathological or non-pathological situations, leads the healthcare team to use mechanical ventilation as a therapeutic strategy; using it as a therapeutic support tool guarantees a high percentage of benefit to patients during their recovery process. The impact of the positive pressure exerted by mechanical ventilation on all body systems should always be taken into consideration, with the goal of improving the patient's state of oxygenation and avoiding adverse effects to a minimum since, being a non-physiological mechanism, it can directly affect the respiratory system, and indirectly affect the cardiovascular, renal, hepatic, hepatic and nervous systems, However, thanks to the use of the latest generation devices and advances in investigation, it has been possible to implement new therapeutic strategies called protective ventilation, where the aim is to reduce the adverse effects as much as possible and in an individualized manner to ensure the adequate oxygenation of the patient.
