Popis: Critically ill cardiac patients often undergo mechanical ventilation. The interplay between pulmonary and cardiac mechanics is complicated and in many cases may result in impaired transfer of O2 from the atmosphere to the tissues. This article addresses the principles of pulmonary and peripheral gas exchange, as well as the mechanical effects of respiration on the circulation.
