Mechanical Ventilation

Surgical Clinics of North America, 2012
The treatment of respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation has advanced significantly over the last 20 years. The goal of therapy in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome should be to optimize oxygenation while minimizing the risk of ventilator-induced lung injury and providing adequate ventilation. Appropriate use of ventilation

Discontinuation of Mechanical Ventilation

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 1988
The vast majority of patients who undergo mechanical ventilation are able to discontinue ventilatory assistance within a few days. Typically, patients who require only short-term mechanical ventilation do not have severe underlying lung disease, and the problem for which they require ventilatory support is most commonly rapidly reversible.
