AB  - This  chapter  discusses  the  indications  for  mechanical  ventilation  in  adult  patients.  We  focus  on  patients  who  are  already  in  the  intensive  care  unit  (ICU)  or  who  are  considered  for  transfer  to  the  ICU,  that  is,  patients  with  new  onset  of  signs  and  symptoms  over  minutes  or  hours.  We  do  not  deal  with  the  indications  for  mechanical  ventilation  for  chronic  respiratory  failure  or  in  pediatric  patients;  these  subjects  are  covered  in  Chapters  23,  18,  33,  and  34.
