Acute respiratory failure is one of the most common reasons for admission to the pediatric intensive care unit. Proper management of respiratory support is essential to achieve optimal outcomes. This chapter couples basic respiratory physiologic principles with the technical aspects of invasive mechanical ventilation, focusing on the principles of lung protective ventilation and patient-ventilator synchrony. It discusses various ventilator modes used in clinical practice, including common nontraditional modes and high-frequency ventilation. Finally, it reviews other aspects of respiratory care related to invasive mechanical ventilation, including airway clearance, inhaled medical gases, and ventilator weaning..
