As in the previous year, very few original prospective clinical papers concerning respiratory failure and pulmonary lung support, including artificial lung ventilation and veno-venous form of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, have been published so far over this year, 2024. In the first part, the manuscript focuses on selected pathophysiological aspects of acute hypoxemic respiratory failure. In the second part, the text continues with a description of several publications that deal with the issue of the use of invasive ventilation support in the form of artificial lung ventilation. The third part deals with a non-invasive form of ventilation support. In the final part, two papers concerning the prone position in conscious patients (awake proning) and one that deals with the length of pronation in patients on artificial lung ventilation are described.

Keywords: acute respiratory failure, intensive care medicine, artificial pulmonary ventilation, mechanical ventilation, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, non­‑invasive ventilation, prone position.
