RESUMEN
En esta revisión se recogen los conceptos fundamentales del uso de la ventilación mecánica (VM) invasiva, principalmente en la insufciencia respiratoria aguda. La VM es una práctica común en la unidad de cuidados intensivos (UCI) y debe ser entendida como una terapia de sostén destinada a sustituir el trabajo respiratorio mientras se restablece el balance entre la demanda ventilatoria y la capacidad del paciente para sostenerla. Se debe reconocer que el objetivo de la VM no es la normalización de los gases sanguíneos, sino obtener un intercambio gaseoso razonable, sin sobrepasar los umbrales de seguridad, lo que permite limitar el daño inducido por su uso.
ABSTRACT
In this review, we collect the fundamental concepts of the use of invasive mechanical ventilation (MV) in children, particularly in acute respiratory failure. MV is a common practice in the ICU and must be understood as a therapeutic intervention to replace the work of breathing while restores the balance between ventilatory demand and the patient's ability to sustain it. It is essential for the clinician to recognize that the goal of mechanical ventilatory support is not to normalize the patient's blood gases but providing a reasonable gas exchange; the benefts are obtained if the safety thresholds are not exceeded. Thus, this strategy has become the only tool available to limit the development of ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI).
