Objective: To obtain optimal titration of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) during mechanical ventilation with functional residual capacity and ventilation homogeneity measurements.

Until evidence can be found that suggests a benefit of applying PEEP according to the duration of ALI/ARDS, ventilator management should be focused on the ARDS Network low tidal volume protocol.

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 ...

This work reports the effects of mechanical ventilation with PEEP (CPPV) on DO2. Methods: 7 newborns (GA : 34±2wks) with hyaline membrane disease and 3 children (5-10mos-12yrs) with ARF were ...
