AbstractOutcomes of critically ill patients are affected by the severity of the acute illnesses and by complications that may result from treatments. This article reviews the major complications associated with mechanical ventilation. Special emphasis is placed on recent advances in the understanding of ventilator-induced lung injury and strategies to avoid this life-threatening complication. In this update, the incidence, diagnosis, prevention, and management of complications associated with mechanical ventilation are discussed for each major organ system.
