    AbstractMechanical ventilation can produce multiple complications. The most important acute complications are mechanical problems (respirator failure, problems with the connections and circuit, incorrect parameters or alarms), problems in the airway (disconnection, extubation, mal-positioning of the endotracheal tube, leaks, nose erosions, obstruction of the endotracheal tube due to secretions or kinking, mainstem bronchus intubation, bronchospasm, postextubation croup), pulmonary complications (ventilator-induced lung injury with barotrauma, volutrauma and biotrauma), hemodynamic complications, nosocomial infections (tracheobronchitis, pneumonia, otitis, sinusitis), failure of adjustment of the respirator to the patient, and nutritional complications. The most important chronic problems are subglottal stenosis, chronic pulmonary injury, and psychological alterations.
