Heart valves help direct the flow of blood into and out of the heart. Therefore, when there is a problem with the heart valve, it seriously affects the heart and overall health. The correct implementation of basic principles when anesthetizing patients with valvular heart disease will bring good prognosis and limit complications after anesthesia.

Positive pressure ventilation helps reduce hospital-acquired infections, especially pneumonia; patients are comfortable, able to communicate, eat orally, maintain personal activities, or can breathe at home.

Ventilators have become a symbol of the COVID-19 pandemic, the last hope for survival for patients who cannot breathe on their own. However, when they need a ventilator, their condition is at its most serious.

Standard ventilators are used in intensive care units to provide optimal ventilation of the lungs. However, they are not suitable for transporting patients requiring mechanical ventilation. In this case, portable ventilators are the perfect choice for patients requiring mechanical ventilation.

In modern medicine, many advanced equipments are developed to diagnose, care for and treat patients, including mechanical ventilation, which is an activity to support the patient's breathing process. It is necessary to monitor the phenomenon of hypoxia in the blood when using a ventilator for timely treatment.

Non-invasive ventilation has proven to be effective in the treatment of acute respiratory failure, especially in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Non-invasive ventilation equipment should be available 24 hours a day in the hospital for treatment.

Patients on ventilators need comprehensive care, combined with monitoring of clinical and paraclinical signs and ventilator parameters. Ventilator patients are often seriously ill, so care and nutrition of ventilator patients must be done properly.

CPAP (Continuous positive airway pressure) - continuous positive airway pressure ventilation. BIPAP (Bilevel positive airway pressure) - ventilation with two positive pressure thresholds. These are two non-invasive ventilation methods widely used in intensive care units, especially in neonatal resuscitation.

Positive pressure ventilation is a method of artificial ventilation indicated for use in respiratory support for patients who are unable to breathe on their own. Monitoring patients on mechanical ventilation is an important part of patient care and treatment.

Heart valves help direct blood flow in and out of the heart. Any problems with the heart valves can be extremely dangerous to your health. Here are the basic principles of anesthesia for heart valve disease.
