Lung Protective Mechanical Ventilation – ARDS – Diagnosis and Prevention (2012) MJ Schultz

Description

Analysis of the evidence supporting lung-protective mechanical ventilation strategies, including the use of lower tidal volumes, to prevent ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) in patients with and without ARDS. The content reviews historical practices, animal models, and key clinical trials (e.g., ARDS Network) linking MV practices to patient outcomes and multiple organ dysfunction.
