Abstract
In this chapter the reader will learn the basics of age-related changes in respiratory physiology and in inflammatory response and immune function pertaining to acute respiratory failure. The different clinical manifestation, susceptibility to acute lung injury, response to treatments of acute respiratory failure (ARF), and physiology of weaning that characterize the elderly, as compared to younger patients, will also be reviewed here.
