Mechanical ventilation<br />

Mechanical ventilation is the process of achieving tidal volume through the application of<br />

positive pressure to the patient’s airway. It is most easily achieved through an endotracheal<br />

tube or tracheostomy tube.<br />

Mechanical ventilation is required in patients receiving muscle relaxation.<br />
