Core Tip	Right ventricular (RV) failure is a common and complex problem among critically ill patients. The management of RV failure is highly dependent on its underlying etiology, chronicity, and resource availability. General principles of RV failure include maintenance of adequate systemic blood pressure, reduction of RV afterload, provision of inotropic support, correction of acidosis and hypoxemia, and management of the underlying precipitating condition. This review provides a comprehensive and practical approach to RV failure in critical illness, highlighting common scenarios and summarizing the available evidence.
