Abstract

Invasive mechanical ventilation is essential for respiratory failure management, especially when patients are not able to provide good oxygenation and ventilation. The main uses are respiratory failure, apneas, neuromuscular disorders, cardiogenic shock, surgery and for airway protection (e.g., complicated trauma), and to diminish metabolic consumption (e.g., septic shock). Among the many variants for mechanical ventilation administration are controlled, assisted, and intermittent synchronized support. They are indicated according to patient’s needs. Mechanical ventilation has adverse effects related to lung injury (barotrauma, volotrauma, atelctrauma, and biotrauma) but also secondary to sedation and trauma to the airway.
