Mechanical Ventilation Strategy in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a severe form of acute respiratory failure requiring careful ventilatory management. Selecting the right ventilation parameters is central to the structured treatment approach.

Treatment Approach

Management involves mechanical ventilation with a specific positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) strategy — the level and configuration of which is guided by the protocol … (full regimen in the protocol)

We suggest the use of high PEEP strategies for patients with moderate or severe ARDS (P/F ratio <27 kPa: GRADE Recommendation: weakly in favour).
