  abstract = {Respiratory problems and ailments are becoming the major concerns around the world in terms of its relevance, morbidity and mortality. Managing such problems is challenging task however improvements could be brought with the immediate interventions. Many of the patients require special attention in this regard to be managed with adequate mechanical ventilation. Statistics shows that approximately 80% of the admitted patients with acute respiratory illnesses required mechanical ventilation in critical and intensive care units. Therefore health care professionals specifically nurses who spends more time on floor with patients must have to be skilled and well equipped to fulfill the needs of patients receiving oxygen therapy on ventilator machines. Quasi experimental (pre and post study design) study was used to carry out the study in Ayub Teaching Hospital Abbottabad. A universal sample (30) critical care nurses were selected from Intensive Care Units. Data was collected by a self-administered questionnaire that was validated and found reliable after the pilot study. Questionnaires consist of two parts the first one demographic information and second parts is knowledge of mechanical ventilation. SPSS version 20 was used for the analysis of information. Descriptive statistical analysis method (frequency, mean and standard deviation) inferential statistics the Fisher exact test value was used. Findings were portrayed in the form of graphs, figures and tables. The results showed that 56.66% of the nurses had poor knowledge on the framed parameters in the initial phase of the study which was reduced to 10% in the later on stage of the study. Further the analysis reported that the mean score knowledge was (52.03±12.24) in the pre phase assessment of knowledge through multiple choice questions while the results were significantly found better with the mean score knowledge of (70.133±13.35) in the post intervention phase with a p value (0.011). The findings of the study showed that nurses were having inadequate knowledge regarding mechanical ventilation that may affect the care of critical ill patients. Therefore nurses may be updated with the latest guidelines, session, manuals and study modules that may improve the level of knowledge among nurse towards the provision of best possible care.},
