Successful experience of using adaptive support ventilation (ASV) in the patient with suspected COVID pneumonia

Abstract

An interesting clinical case of suspected COVID-19 pneumonia in a patient with diabetes mellitus is considered in the article. This case deservest attention of anesthesiologists, especially today, during the COVID-19 epidemic. An important role in timely diagnosis belongs to the CT scan, as the X-ray does not always diagnose viral pneumonia. In our case, we adhered to the principles of restrictive infusion therapy, early intubation, protective ventilation and early weaning of the patient from the respirator. The article describes the successful experience of using the ASV intelligent ventilation mode – from intubation to extubation. We recommend you to use ASV in patients with suspected COVID-19 pneumonia and L-type to achieve protective ventilation, rapid weaning, and low risk of complications.
