Summary
This review analyzes artificial ventilation in cancer patients, covering mechanical ventilation and intensive care for solid tumors, hematologic malignancies, and bone marrow transplant complications. It offers guidelines for managing these critically ill patients, including novel noninvasive ventilation techniques.
Area of Science:
- Critical Care Medicine
- Oncology
- Respiratory Medicine
Context:
- Cancer patients often require intensive care and artificial ventilation due to disease progression or treatment complications.
- Understanding ventilation strategies is crucial for managing malignant solid tumors, hematologic malignancies, and bone marrow transplant recipients.
Purpose:
- To systematically review and synthesize existing literature on artificial ventilation in cancer patients.
- To describe characteristic diseases, clinical presentations, etiologies, and therapies related to ventilation in this population.
- To discuss care considerations and therapeutic techniques, including emerging noninvasive ventilation methods.
Summary:
- The review covers mechanical ventilation and intensive care in cancer patients with solid tumors, hematologic malignancies, and bone marrow transplant complications.
- Specific disease entities, their clinical features, causes, and treatments are detailed.
- Guidance is provided for patient management, incorporating prognosis and advanced techniques like noninvasive ventilation.
Impact:
- Provides a comprehensive overview of artificial ventilation in oncology critical care.
- Aids clinicians in developing evidence-based management strategies for ventilated cancer patients.
- Highlights the role of noninvasive ventilation and informs future research directions.
