Revisiting Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome ventilation management: Time for a paradigm shift focusing on tidal volume

Abstract: Merola and colleagues critically evaluate current Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) ventilation strategies, emphasizing limitations inherent in universally applying low tidal volume (VT) strategies. They argue for personalized, physiology-driven ventilation approaches that incorporate mechanical power, compliance, and transpulmonary pressures. The authors highlight the complexity and heterogeneity of ARDS, suggesting the inadequacy of global parameters […]

Driving pressure-guided ventilation decreases the mechanical power compared to predicted body weight-guided ventilation in the ARDS.

Summary of Driving Pressure-Guided Ventilation Decreases the Mechanical Power Compared to Predicted Body Weight-Guided Ventilation in the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (Haudebourg et al.) Abstract Summary: Haudebourg et al. investigated the impact of driving pressure (ΔP)-guided ventilation versus predicted body weight (PBW)-guided ventilation on mechanical power in moderate-to-severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients. Their

Practical assessment of risk of VILI from ventilating power: a conceptual model

Summary of “Practical Assessment of Risk of VILI from Ventilating Power: A Conceptual Model” Abstract Summary: This article introduces a conceptual model for assessing the risk of ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) based on mechanical power and its components, such as tidal volume, driving pressure (DP), plateau pressure (Ps), and ventilating frequency. By focusing on the
