Mechanical ventilation is generally applied on patients affected by acute respiratory failure (ARF) on the basis of hemogasanalysis, hemodynamics and X-ray features. The modification of ventilatory pattern is based on problem the modification of data concerning mechanical variation. In this study the most important mechanical measures and their consequences on ventilatory strategy are discussed.
