Case Description
Ventilatory strategies in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) are crucial for optimizing oxygenation and minimizing further lung injury. Ventilating with low tidal volumes (6 mL/kg of predicted body weight or lower) reduces the risk of ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). PEEP is used to...
Case Summary
- ARDS is a severe and under-recognized condition with high mortality. The Lung Safe study highlighted the lack of proper ARDS recognition and management, even in developed countries, with instances of missed diagnoses and inadequate use of low tidal volume ventilation, PEEP measurement, and prone positioning.
