Lung Ventilation Maximum

Maximum ventilation (MVV) is a method of artificial ventilation of the lungs that uses the maximum volume of inhaled air possible for the patient.

MVL is used in the following cases:

1. Acute respiratory failure of various origins (pneumonia, pulmonary edema, etc.)

2. Exacerbation of chronic respiratory failure

3. Overdose of narcotic drugs or sedatives

4. Chest and lung injuries

5. Postoperative period in patients at high risk of complications from the respiratory system

MVL uses ventilators that provide 100% oxygen and create positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) to improve blood oxygenation.

MVL allows you to optimize gas exchange and prevent the development of hypoxia and hypercapnia during respiratory failure. However, this method has a number of limitations and contraindications, and therefore should only be carried out in an intensive care unit.
