Meaning and Clinical Context
The mechanical process of moving air into and out of the lungs, facilitating gas exchange between the alveoli and the external environment.
Ventilation involves both the movement of air through conducting airways (minute ventilation) and the distribution of air to perfused alveoli (alveolar ventilation), measured clinically by tidal volume and respiratory rate.
Category
Example in Use
English: Mechanical ventilation is initiated when spontaneous breathing cannot maintain adequate alveolar ventilation and oxygenation.
Turkish: Mekanik ventilasyon, spontan solunumun yeterli alveoler ventilasyon ve oksijenasyonu sağlayamadığı durumlarda başlatılır.
Clinical Notes
Scenario
A trauma patient with flail chest requires positive pressure ventilation due to paradoxical chest wall movement impairing ventilation.
Response Template
The patient requires pressure-controlled ventilation with PEEP to improve oxygenation and prevent alveolar collapse.
