Redefining Respiratory Support: Insights from ATS 2025 on the Future of Mechanical Ventilation

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: MECHANICAL ventilation remains one of the most powerful, yet potentially harmful tools in critical care. Despite decades of refinement in ventilator strategies, complications such as ventilator-induced lung injury, oxygen toxicity, and fluid overload continue to impact outcomes in those who are critically ill. At the American Thoracic Society (ATS) International Conference 2025, a series of novel studies pushed the boundaries of our understanding and delivery of respiratory support. Here, three key advances that offer a glimpse into the future of mechanical ventilation are highlighted: quantifying risk with mechanical power and fluid overload, applying machine learning to personalize oxygen targets, and engineering a groundbreaking intravenous oxygenation strategy.
