"The evolution of artificial mechanical ventilation has played an important role in the development of respiratory and critical care medicine. Mechanical ventilation is a mainstay of resuscitation, intensive care medicine and anaesthesia. There has been movement from crude mechanically delivered support to evolved, patient-triggered, micro-processor controlled systems. This path has been instrumental in achieving effective life support with reduced risk and increased comfort. There has been increased knowledge of disease and physiology, as well as new challenges that have been educational, ethical, technical and economic. (1)"--
