Abstract

This review deals with several grey areas in mechanical ventilation. Noninvasive ventilation for acute respiratory failure may be useful but careful choice of patients, identification of early signs of its failure and changeover to invasive ventilation is essential to improve outcome. Preservation of spontaneous ventilation during mechanical ventilation is currently being investigated. High frequency ventilation is useful in refractory cases. Rapid shallow breathing index corrected to weight needs to be studied. The ideal timing of tracheostomy is not known and is best to individualise the intervention.
