Intensive Care ventilation-New norm establishes a uniform nomenclature for ventilation modes

CONCLUSION: Standardized terminology and semantics in respiratory care are necessary and desirable for error reduction. However, the recently presented standard fulfils these expectations only to some extent and in its current form will probably lead to further ambiguities and problems in the clinical routine. Accordingly, it is imperative that this first version of DIN EN ISO 19223:2021 be understood as the starting point for a discussion of its content, even outside the standards committees, so that its obvious weaknesses can be eradicated and the nomenclature made suitable for everyday use.PMID:34985550 | DOI:10.1007/s00101-021-01081-9
