Acute respiratory failure is either due to an exacerbation of chronic obstructive lung disease (COLD) or to an inflammatory process in the lungs ("acute lung injury, ALI", or "acute respiratory distress syndrome, ARDS"). The initial ventilator treatment of COLD should preferably be performed without tracheal intubation, e.g. via a mouth-nose mask, and where tracheal intubation is needed, long expiratory times are recommended. In the case of ALI/ARDS there is strong evidence that the lungs should be ventilated with small tidal volumes and low inspiratory pressures.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007442 Intubation, Intratracheal A procedure involving placement of a tube into the trachea through the mouth or nose in order to provide a patient with oxygen and anesthesia. Intubation, Endotracheal,Endotracheal Intubation,Endotracheal Intubations,Intratracheal Intubation,Intratracheal Intubations,Intubations, Endotracheal,Intubations, Intratracheal
D012121 Respiration, Artificial Any method of artificial breathing that employs mechanical or non-mechanical means to force the air into and out of the lungs. Artificial respiration or ventilation is used in individuals who have stopped breathing or have RESPIRATORY INSUFFICIENCY to increase their intake of oxygen (O2) and excretion of carbon dioxide (CO2).

D012128 Respiratory Distress Syndrome A syndrome characterized by progressive life-threatening RESPIRATORY INSUFFICIENCY in the absence of known LUNG DISEASES, usually following a systemic insult such as surgery or major TRAUMA.
