OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of intraoperative protective ventilation on major postoperative respiratory complications and to define safe intraoperative mechanical ventilator settings that do not ...
Research exploring protective mechanical ventilation strategies for acute respiratory distress syndrome was presented at the ERS Congress by Luca Menga, MD, University of Toronto. Preclinical data ...
Among patients without acute respiratory distress syndrome, protective mechanical ventilation with use of lower tidal volumes (the volume of air inhaled and exhaled during each breath) was associated ...

The mechanism behind volutrauma is two-fold: one part increased alveolar-capillary permeability and one part increased transmural pressure. As alveoli become overdistended, the alveolar epithelium ...
A lung-protective ventilation strategy requires optimal PEEP and tidal volume settings. Finding and maintaining these crucial settings during the course of therapy is challenging - even for ...
The use of mechanical ventilation can save lives - and not just for COVID-19 patients who develop severe respiratory problems. But at the same time, the ventilation pressure puts immense stress on ...
