In patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome, positive end-expiratory pressure is
associated with alveolar recruitment and lung hyperinflation despite the administration of a …

A recent study by the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Network compared the
traditional lower end-expiratory pressure strategy with a higher end-expiratory pressure …

Context The need for lung protection is universally accepted, but the optimal level of positive
end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) in patients with acute lung injury (ALI) or acute respiratory …

OBJECTIVES: Positive end-expiratory pressure and tidal volume may have a key role for the
outcome of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome. The variety of acute respiratory …

Objective: The hemodynamic impact of positive end-expiratory pressure in acute respiratory
distress syndrome and the underlying mechanisms have not been extensively investigated …

The Berlin definition criteria applied at positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) 5 cm H 2 O
reasonably predict lung edema and recruitabilty. To maintain viable gas exchange, the …

Gentle lung ventilation must be standard practice. Because stress and strain are the triggers
of ventilator-induced lung injury, their clinical equivalents should be measured …

Mechanical ventilation practices in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)
have progressed with a growing understanding of the disease pathophysiology. Paramount …

Objective To assess the effects of different positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) levels (0,
5, 10, and 15 cm H 2 O) on tidal expiratory flow limitation (FL), regional intrinsic positive end …

Background It is still controversial as to the implementation of higher positive end-expiratory
pressure (PEEP) in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). This study …
