Mechanical ventilation is one of the central skills in critical care medicine. In the emergency patient it is most often used to improve oxygenation and ventilation in the patient with acute respiratory failure, altered conscious state and to treat acute raised intracranial pressure. Ventilation may be required to treat life-threatening presentations of COAD, heart failure, pneumonia, sepsis, trauma, intracerebral haemorrhage and overdose. An understanding of the indications, complications, practical aspects of mechanical ventilation and respiratory failure is essential in emergency medicine.

1. Ventilation: Airway Management

2. Ventilator Mode and Settings
