Köhnlein T – Heart failure is a complex topic which poses difficult decisions for ventilator specialists. Currently available therapies are mechanical ventilation and standard therapy with oxygen or medical intervention. Ventilator specialists face a difficult decision when choosing which of these to use as the evidence for each is not conclusive. The primary aim of the chosen treatment is to improve oxygenation and respiratory acidosis and reduce the work of breathing and dyspnoea. In addition, another goal of treatment is an improvement of cardiac performance.
