Background:

The scope of respiratory and ventilatory support in the emergency department (ED) has significantly expanded.
Emergency physicians are increasingly aggressive and sophisticated in managing respiratory conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

To outline new concepts and treatments for initiating intensive care in the ED.
To highlight the expansion of respiratory support in emergency settings.

Main Methods:

Review of current literature and clinical practices in emergency respiratory care.
Discussion of new medications and technologies applicable to the ED.

Main Results:

EDs are increasingly adopting intensive care unit (ICU)-level respiratory support.
Advanced management strategies for bronchospasm, pulmonary edema, and acute respiratory failure are now common.

Conclusions:

The ED should be considered an extension of the ICU for respiratory support.
Emergency physicians are equipped to provide "intensive care" for respiratory emergencies.
