Mechanical ventilation is an important and ever-evolving component of everyday critical care. Clinicians can struggle to keep up with current literature and descriptions of advancement in a way that they can apply these changes to their bedside patient care. This article serves as a review of important recent findings related to invasive mechanical ventilation and describes their relevance to bedside critical care.
