Abstract

Assessing the respiratory system of a patient receiving mechanical ventilation is complex. We provide an overview of an approach at the bedside underpinned by physiology. We discuss the importance of distinguishing between extensive and intensive ventilatory variables. We outline methods to evaluate both passive patients and those making spontaneous respiratory efforts during assisted ventilation. We believe a comprehensive assessment can influence setting mechanical ventilatory support to achieve lung and diaphragm protective ventilation.
