RESUMO
In recent years, atomization inhalation therapy has been more and more commonly used in patients with mechanical ventilation. However, the establishment of artificial airway has changed the environment and mode of aerosol delivery. Currently, Expert consensus on atomization inhalation during mechanical ventilation has been established to guide clinical practice. However, many ventilators do not support the treatment of aerosol inhalation due to the tedious procedures and numerous drugs. At the same time, the therapeutic effect of atomization inhalation is affected by many factors, such as ventilator mode selection, parameter setting, heating and humidification, using of artificial nose and filter, etc., which often results in poor clinical effects or even damage to the ventilator. In order to standardize the clinical application of mechanical ventilation atomization inhalation technology and avoid many possible problems in operation, the committee members of Respiratory Therapy Group of Severe Medicine Branch of Henan Medical Association discussed and concluded this clinical path, so as to provide clinical reference for the actual operation and drug administration of mechanical ventilation atomization.
