Abstract

Acute respiratory failure requiring invasive mechanical ventilation is a common presentation in the emergency department. Providers can further improve care for these patients by understanding common modes of mechanical ventilation, recognizing changes in respiratory mechanics, and tailoring ventilator settings and therapies accordingly.

Keywords: Mechanical ventilation; Ventilator management; Ventilator modes.
