Define mechanical ventilation.
Discuss the Purpose of mechanical ventilation.
Discuss the Nursing care of mechanical ventilation.

3. Mechanical ventilation
• A medical procedure that involves the use of a mechanical
ventilator or breathing machine to assist or replace a patient's
spontaneous breathing.
• This technology is employed when a person's respiratory
system is unable to function effectively on its own, often due to
conditions like severe respiratory failure, lung disease, or after
certain surgical procedures.
• The mechanical ventilator delivers a controlled volume of air or
oxygen into the patient's lungs, helping to maintain adequate
oxygen levels and remove carbon dioxide from the body, thereby
supporting the patient's respiratory function until they can
breathe independently again.

4. Purpose
•Ventilators are used to provide mechanical
ventilation for patients with respiratory failure
who cannot breathe effectively on their own.
•They are also used to provide stability of the
chest wall after trauma or surgery and when
patients is sedated or pharmacologically
paralyzed.

6. Nursing care of ventilated
child
• Monitor vital signs continuously.
• Ensure that the endotracheal tube plaster
was fully secured.
• Endo tracheal tube plaster should not be
applied too tight over the jugular area.
• Avoid tight adherence of the tube of the
lips.
• Endo tracheal tubing's must be change with
in 72 hours.

7. Nursing care of ventilated
child
• Ensure ventilator settings are adjusted
according to doctors prescriptions.
• Suction secretion as needed.
 Carries out the following hygienic
necessities :
• Oral care every four hour.
• Changes position 2-3 hourly.
• Changes dressing per need if ventilator is
connected to tracheotomy .

8. Nursing care of ventilated
child
• Evaluates patient’s progress daily.
• Auscultate chest periodically, noting
presence /absence and equality of breath
sounds
• Elevate head of bed.
• Check ventilator alarms for proper
functioning.
• Check tubing for obstruction.
