Comparison Between Limited Driving Pressure Ventilation and Conventional Mechanical Ventilation Strategies in Medical Intensive Care Patients With Acute Respiratory Failure

Overview

Background An appropriated mechanical ventilator setting for acute respiratory failure results of ventilator associated lung injury. Limited driving pressure and low tidal volume ventilation strategies show benefits decreasing mortality in acute respiratory distress syndrome, but there are no data in simple acute respiratory failure.

Limited driving pressure and low tidal volume ventilation strategies show benefits decreasing mortality in acute respiratory distress syndrome, but there are no data in simple acute respiratory failure. To compare lung injury score (LIS, Murray score) after invasive mechanical ventilation 7 days between groups of limited driving pressure ventilation versus low tidal volume ventilation strategies.
