Abstract

This review aims to enhance the comprehension and management of cardiopulmonary interactions in critically ill patients with cardiovascular disease undergoing mechanical ventilation. Highlighting the significance of maintaining a delicate balance, this article emphasizes the crucial role of adjusting ventilation parameters based on both invasive and noninvasive monitoring. It provides recommendations for the induction and liberation from mechanical ventilation. Special attention is given to the identification of auto-PEEP (positive end-expiratory pressure) and other situations that may impact hemodynamics and patients' outcomes.

Keywords: Cardiogenic shock; Cardiopulmonary interactions; Hemodynamics; Mechanical ventilation.
