What is Complications and Side Effects of Mechanical Ventilation about?

Abstract Mechanical ventilation is routinely used not only in critical care units but also on regular floors. Caring for a patient on a ventilator requires knowledge and understanding of the ventilator, its functioning, indications for placing a patient on the ventilator, choice of optimum ventilator mode, and sedation. In spite of the life-saving nature of mechanical ventilation, it is not free of complications and side effects. In fact, prolonged mechanical ventilation affects almost every organ system of the body, including the cardiorespiratory, gastrointestinal, renal, brain, hematologic, and immune systems. Successful outcome depends on prevention of possible complications, and adequate knowledge and planning are required to achieve this goal. This chapter summarizes the complications related to mechanical ventilation systematically.
