Summary

The key question in mechanical ventilation is whether invasive or non-invasive is the option being applied to the individual patient. In order to answer this question, it is necessary to recognize the pathophysiology and understand which physiological system has failed and needs to be supported. In this chapter we outline the optimal treatment options for respiratory insufficiency type 1 and 2. The reader will be made familiar with the basic principles of non-invasive and invasive ventilation. The aim is to arbitrate an overview as well as basic flowchart for the treatments depending on which of the aforementioned respiratory insufficiencies are to be treated. The chapter also comprises a quick guide to the initial ventilator settings.
