Difficult Ventilation

Obesity as a disease causes a restrictive lung disease and is a sufficient predisposing factor for difficult ventilation of the patient in the ventilator. In addition to covid-19, the phenomenon of hard lung is observed as the ventilation of intubated patients is very difficult and recruitment is quite difficult to achieve. The combination is quite difficult as these patients oppose the ventilator. This paper aims to explore the link between obesity and mechanical ventilation in COVID-19 patients.

Closing Pressure

Mechanical ventilators have only two functions: to provide a flux to eliminate carbon dioxide from those who will not or cannot breathe and to establish an adequate gas-exchanging volume to reduce shunting. The concept of volume recruitment to reduce shunting goes back at least to Mead and Collier in 1959,1 who showed that without periodic inflations there was a progressive fall in compliance during prolonged mechanical ventilation. Much of the subsequent history of mechanical ventilation in acute lung disease has really been the search for better methods of volume recruitment. The lung has to be inflated past the pressure at which atelectatic lung begins to open and be maintained above its closing pressure (that pressure below which alveoli and airways start to close again).

INTRODUCTION. Interstitial lung disease (ILD) with acute respiratory failure needs ventilatory support poorly documented. One of the interstitial diseases known is the Systemic sclerosis, its advanced stages develop CREST syndrome. Faverio P, et al. (2016) suggested do not close the door to these patients and open the correct protocol, criticizing the little value that the scientic community concede to invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV). CASE REPORT. 85-year-old male is internalized in critical care unit by pneumonia, the complementary evaluation shows a systemic sclerosis disease with CREST syndrome and it is conrmed by elevation of anti-centromere antibody and positive skin biopsy. Tomography highlights pneumonic consolidation plus interstitial lung involvement and echocardiography reveals pulmonary hypertension. The management is done with IMV, keeping the goal of driving pressure less than 15 as lung protection, recovering respiratory function in 3 weeks. Discussion. The evidence is too insufcient to establish the best decision on IMV to the management of ILD.
