Abstract

Mechanical ventilation has undergone tremendous change in its fifty years of
mainstream usage. In that time it has made the treatment of previously fatal
diseases possible. Importantly, research has shown that it also has the
potential to cause or exacerbate disease. This paper seeks to explore some
of the more common complications of mechanical ventilation, and methods in
which they may be prevented or ameliorated.
