Abstract

A series of cases demonstrate the key concepts regarding the approach to acute respiratory failure, understanding the ventilator screen, ventilator management, and assessment of the deteriorating ventilated patient. The cases highlight management of mechanical ventilation in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, and neurologic injury.
