[Acute hypoxia and internal intensive medicine. III. Differentiated respiration]

In the third information concerning the topic "acute hypoxia and internal intensive medicine" the fundamentals of differentiated respiration are described. Current generators with constant and variable flow are best suited to remove the combined disturbances of the inhomogeneous lung or their results. In the Medivent-series a choice of types of respiratory apparatuses is at disposal by means of which a large part of respiratory disturbances may be commanded. A comprehensive possibility of the modification of the characteristics of respiration by an adjustibility of the sizes of respiration which are independent upon another is to be demanded. The PEEP is a valuable enlargement of the characteristics of respiration. Its effects are to be controlled in reaction to the circulation. In the centre of the information is the immediate practical approach in indication, choice of the parameters, adaptation of the patient to respiration and withdrawal.
