title: Oxygen Therapeutics and Mechanical Ventilation Advances.
abstract: Advances in intensive care unit (ICU) therapeutics are plentiful and rooted in technological enhancements as well as recognition of patient care priorities. A plethora of new devices and modes are available for use to enhance patient safety and support liberation from mechanical ventilation while preserving oxygenation and carbon dioxide clearance. Increased penetrance of closed loop systems is one means to reduce care variation in appropriate populations. The intelligent design of the ICU space needs to integrate the footprint of that device and the data streaming from it into a coherent whole that supports patient, family, and caregivers.
