Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of a Protective-Ventilation Strategy on Mortality in the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

TL;DR: As compared with conventional ventilation, the protective strategy was associated with improved survival at 28 days, a higher rate of weaning from mechanical ventilation, and a lower rate of barotrauma in patients with the acute respiratory distress syndrome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Imbalances in regional lung ventilation: a validation study on electrical impedance tomography.

TL;DR: Electrical impedance tomography measurements of ventilation distribution, by comparison with dynamic computerized tomography in a heterogeneous population of critically ill patients under mechanical ventilation, validated and showed acceptable reproducibility.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reversibility of lung collapse and hypoxemia in early acute respiratory distress syndrome.

TL;DR: It is often possible to reverse hypoxemia and fully recruit the lung in early acute respiratory distress syndrome, and the required maneuver still awaits further evaluation before routine clinical application.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association between driving pressure and development of postoperative pulmonary complications in patients undergoing mechanical ventilation for general anaesthesia: a meta-analysis of individual patient data.

TL;DR: In patients having surgery, intraoperative high driving pressure and changes in the level of PEEP that result in an increase of driving pressure are associated with more postoperative pulmonary complications, and a randomised controlled trial comparing ventilation based on driving pressure with usual care is needed to confirm these findings.
Journal ArticleDOI

Protective versus Conventional Ventilation for Surgery: A Systematic Review and Individual Patient Data Meta-analysis

TL;DR: These data support the beneficial effects of ventilation with use of low VT in patients undergoing surgery and the role of intraoperative higher PEEP to prevent PPC during nonopen abdominal surgery.
