Mechanical ventilation is a critical intervention to sustain life in acute or emergent settings, particularly in patients with compromised airways, impaired ventilation, or hypoxemic respiratory failure. This procedure involves applying positive pressure breaths and relies on the airway systems compliance and resistance. Clinicians in critical care units must understand how mechanical ventilation affects patient physiology and response to various disease states, emphasizing the need for a deep understanding of safe application principles. 

A solid understanding of human physiology and airway mechanics principles is crucial for clinicians in treating intubated patients, thereby forming the foundation for safe and effective ventilation strategies. This knowledge is essential for recognizing key indications for invasive mechanical ventilation, which include airway compromise, protection in obtunded patients or those with dynamic airways, airway obstru...
