Abstract
The use of pediatric mechanical ventilation involves inherent risks, and its application should be surrounded by specific care. In the operating room, anesthesia can produce different degrees of respiratory depression and the use of various ventilation modes is required. From a better understanding of respiratory physiology and the expansion of the knowledge about this subject, technological innovations have enabled a significant improvement in ventilatory assistance to pediatric patients. The purpose of this article is to review concepts on respiratory physiology of the child, the ventilation systems in pediatric anesthesia and ventilation modes often used in this group of patients – all these enable us to reduce the rate of complications related to mechanical ventilation.
