I think, therefore I ventilate.
Group I was ventilated with a level of pressure controlled ventilation sufficient for a TV of 8 mL/kg; with a RR of 15 bpm; inspired oxygen fraction (FiO2) enough for oxygen saturation (SpO2) higher than 95%; PEEP of 5 cmH2O.
Patients were stratified into two groups: group I, patients ventilated with lower tidal volumes (<8 ml/kg); and group II, patients ventilated with higher volumes (≥ 8 ml/kg).
Group I was ventilated with a level of PSV enough for a TV of 8 mL/kg; with the index RR/TV less than 80 L; FiO2 enough for SpO2 higher than 95%; PEEP of 5 cmH2O.
To evaluate, in ARDS/ALI patients ventilated with a low tidal volume and PEEP, according to the NIH network trial [ 1], the effects on the parameters of the pressure/volume (PV) curve of the respiratory system.
Is it ventilated to the outside, or does it smell like cake toilet deodorizers or wall dispensers spritzing disinfectants that may trigger asthma?
All patients were ventilated with a Servo i ventilator (Maquet Critical Care, Solna, Sweden) equipped with the NAVA software.
