Abstract

Respiratory failure is a common presentation to the emergency department (ED). In addition to supplemental oxygen, noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation (NIPPV) and mechanical ventilation (MV) are tools commonly used for the management of acute respiratory failure. It is important to know the principles of oxygenation and ventilation and how NIPPV and MV can improve gas exchange. There are many modes that can be confusing to practitioners who do not use ventilators frequently. Knowledge of the different ventilator parameters helps so that the most appropriate mode may be selected for the specific clinical scenario. Once on positive-pressure ventilation (PPV), the provider must be able to troubleshoot problems that commonly occur.
