In the fluid-filled lungs of early adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) the dependent
parts are compressed and atelectatic; whereas, the nondependent areas remain aerated …

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

In the last several years, we definitely learned that the acute respiratory distress syndrome
lung is small, nonhomogeneous, and that mechanical ventilation in this baby lung may …

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 …

Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) in
providing ventilatory support to patients with acute lung injury of diverse etiology and mild-to …

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 …

Important advances have been made over the past decade towards understanding the
optimal approach to ventilating patients with acute respiratory failure. Evidence now …

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a clinically defined entity describing the
severity of diffuse alveolar injury caused by direct or indirect injury to the lung …

The traditional practice of using high inflation pressures to maintain normal tidal volumes
and arterial blood gases has been encouraged by the perception of uniformly distributed …
