Evaluating mechanical ventilation in patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Journal Title: Archives of Pulmonology and Respiratory Care - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Even though acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) has been intensively and continuously studied in various settings, its mortality remains high. Mechanical ventilation is an essential component of the care of patients with ARDS. Thus, many randomized controlled clinical trials have been conducted, evaluating the efficacy and safety of various methods of mechanical ventilation in order to adapt ventilatory setting to protect patients from ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) and to treat them effectively.
