Abstract
Artificial pulmonary ventilation (APV) represents one of the most common procedures for instrumental support of organ functions in the intensive care. The application of positive pressure to the airways and lung parenchyma is associated with a number of changes that (to varying degrees of clinical significance) affect the physiology of not only the respiratory system, but also other organs and tissues.
Knowledge of the effects of APV on the physiological functions of the organism is essential not only from the point of view of setting the parameters of ventilation support, but also for the correct interpretation of all the organ changes that are associated with the provision of APV.
