Overview

This publication deals with the management of critically ill patients in which the use of sophisticated respiratory function monitoring and support equipment stresses the need to deeply analyze various aspects of respiratory physiology. There are mechanisms of ventilation setting, muscular fatigue, static and dynamic properties of the respiratory system, respiratory work, gas exchange and pulmonary perfusion. Advanced research on techniques supplying partial support to ventilation and applied pharmacology benefits from a better understanding of the factors and mechanisms regulating the respiratory function. It is therefore important to highlight the relevance to ICU physicians of planning a clinical approach which is oriented towards a customized ventilatory support.
