Respiratory intensive care--past, present, future.

M P Casey

    Respiratory Care
    |September 9, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    Respiratory intensive care has advanced significantly due to mechanical ventilation and blood gas monitoring. Future progress in acute respiratory failure management requires deeper understanding of lung physiology.

    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonary Medicine
    • Critical Care Medicine

    Background:

    • The poliomyelitis epidemics spurred the development of mechanical ventilation and bronchial hygiene techniques.
    • Advances in blood gas analysis enabled the physiological management of acute respiratory failure.

    Observation:

    • Oxygen toxicity and fluid retention were recognized as critical factors in managing respiratory failure.
    • The introduction of Positive End-Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) further refined treatment protocols.

    Findings:

    • Technological limitations are no longer the primary barrier to survival in acute respiratory failure.
    • Significant progress has been achieved in respiratory intensive care over the past 30 years.

    Implications:

    • Future breakthroughs in acute respiratory failure treatment depend on a more profound understanding of lung anatomy, biochemistry, and physiology.
    • Continued research into fundamental lung processes is crucial for advancing respiratory care.
