AbstractIn general there are two distinguishable methods of artificial ventilation: assisted spontaneous ventilation and controlled ventilation. Spontaneous ventilation can be supported by CPAP or PEEP, in order to improve oxygenation, and by IMV to improve CO2 elimination. Furthermore, high frequency low pressure ventilation may be used versus low frequency high pressure ventilation. Conventional IPPV may be supported by continuous endexspiratory pressure. In special cases IRV may be applied. High frequency low pressure ventilation methods may be used intra- and postoperatively as well as post-traumatically.
