Routine measurements demonstrate early detection of respiratory complications in patients with acute respiratory failure, indicating effective monitoring during treatment.
Routine measurements of total respiratory compliance provide a simple, noninvasive monitoring tool for patients treated with mechanical ventilation. This monitoring technique detects bronchospasm, increased secretions, and atelectasis, and it evaluates the result of treatment. The procedures described use pressure-volume measurements to allow early detection of respiratory complications and to aid in the evaluation of treatment modes.
