AB  - The  birth  of  modern  day  critical  care  is  traditionally  ascribed  to  Bjorn  Ibsen,  a  Harvard-trained  Danish  anesthesiologist,  who  led  the  efforts  to  combat  the  poliomyelitis  epidemic  in  Copenhagen  in  1952.1  By  relying  on  the  manual  power  of  volunteers  to  ventilate  the  critically  ill  for  extended  periods  of  time,  respiratory  failure-related  mortality  declined  precipitously.  From  these  humble  beginnings,  the  growth  of  critical  care  medicine  over  the  ensuing  years  has  been  exponential.
