Objective: Protective mechanical ventilation with low tidal volumes is standard of care for
patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome. The aim of this individual patient data …

Context Lung-protective mechanical ventilation with the use of lower tidal volumes has been
found to improve outcomes of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It …

Protective ventilation with low tidal volume has been shown to reduce morbidity and
mortality in patients suffering from acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress …

Background It is uncertain whether lung-protective mechanical ventilation using low tidal
volumes should be used in all critically ill patients, irrespective of the presence of the acute …

Two randomized controlled trials confirmed the existence of so-called ventilator-associated
lung injury by showing reduced morbidity and mortality with the use of lower tidal volumes in …

Objective: Low tidal volume ventilation lowers mortality in the acute respiratory distress
syndrome. Previous studies reported poor low tidal volume ventilation implementation. We …

Ventilation with lower tidal volumes for critically ill pati... : Current Opinion in Critical Care
Ventilation with lower tidal volumes for critically ill patients without the acute respiratory distress …

Background Traditional approaches to mechanical ventilation use tidal volumes of 10 to 15
ml per kilogram of body weight and may cause stretch-induced lung injury in patients with …

Rationale: Reducing tidal volume decreases mortality in acute respiratory distress syndrome
(ARDS). However, the effect of the timing of low tidal volume ventilation is not well …

Objective: To determine the frequency of use of low-tidal-volume ventilation in appropriate
patients with acute lung injury (ALI) and the factors associated with the choice of tidal …
