Ventilator-associated lung injury and inflammation can occur even during short-term mismanagement can worsen patient outcomes. This is a critical error that leads to poorer outcomes for patients in need of critical care. Over the past few years, there has been an increase in emergency department (ED) volumes and lengths of stay.
