Study Notes
Goals of Mechanical Ventilation
- Mechanical ventilation acts as a support system, not a cure for obstructive lung diseases like asthma, chronic bronchitis, and emphysema.
- Provides assistance until the underlying pathological conditions are reversible.
- Aims to improve gas exchange and relieve respiratory distress.
- Enhances pulmonary mechanics and permits healing of lungs and airways.
- Avoids complications associated with respiratory failure.
Critical Care Nursing Evolution
- Philippine healthcare system has significantly evolved since 1970, influenced by advanced care technology and practices.
- Development of specialty practice areas, particularly in critical care, is essential.
- Critical care nursing involves collaboration and direct patient care in life-threatening situations.
- Continuous learning and skills development are pivotal for critical care nurses.
Educational and Professional Requirements for Nurses
- A bachelor's degree in Nursing is required.
- Nurses must pass the national licensure exam administered by the PRC-BON.
- Patient-to-nurse ratio in Metro Manila ICU is typically 1:2, but may vary across hospitals.
- The Philippine Nursing Act of 2002 guides nursing practice and specialty program development.
Clinical Judgment and Patient Care
- Critical principles include clinical reasoning, decision-making, and understanding of patient scenarios.
- Effective gathering and interpretation of patient data enhance care outcomes.
- In uncertain situations, utilizing expertise from fellow nurses is common practice.
- Expert nurses recognize patient problem patterns and can effectively navigate the healthcare system for patients.
Facilitating Learning and Diversity Response
- Nurses should facilitate informal and formal learning for patients and families.
- Expert nurses can creatively adapt educational programs for better understanding and engagement.
- Response to diversity involves recognizing and respecting patients' cultural, spiritual, and personal values.
- Tailored care is essential in addressing the unique needs of diverse patient populations.
Collaboration in Patient Care
- Defined as promoting synergistic contributions towards realistic patient/family goals.
- Expert nurses foster participation from team members and exemplify accountability during collaborative discussions.
Mechanical Ventilation Definition
- Mechanical ventilation uses a ventilator to move air to maintain adequate oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the blood.
- Indications for mechanical ventilation include neuromuscular diseases (e.g., Myasthenia Gravis, Guillain-Barre Syndrome), musculoskeletal abnormalities, and infectious lung diseases (e.g., pneumonia, tuberculosis).

Description
This quiz explores the objectives of mechanical ventilation, particularly in cases of obstructive lung diseases like asthma, chronic bronchitis, and emphysema. It emphasizes that mechanical ventilation supports the patient but does not address the underlying pathology. Understanding these goals is crucial for effective patient management in critical care settings.
