While high fixed or empirical PEEP may enhance oxygenation, these strategies frequently induce unnecessary lung overdistension. Thus, respiratory mechanics-based PEEP titration is preferable, particularly in moderate-severe ARDS.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"article-editor-figure-image\" data-id=\"fca62173-317b-4afd-8dcd-5879b6c5c671\"><figcaption class=\"article-editor-figure-caption\"><strong><a class=\"article-editor-link article-editor-link\" style=\"font-size: 16px; background-color: #ffffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1186\/s13054-025-05459-8\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ACCESS FULL ARTICLE HERE<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1234\" src=\"https:\/\/perfusfind.com\/ic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1752799630037-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/perfusfind.com\/ic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1752799630037-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/perfusfind.com\/ic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1752799630037-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/perfusfind.com\/ic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1752799630037.png 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p id=\"ember77\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\"><strong>Discussion Questions:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>How can clinicians practically integrate driving pressure-based PEEP titration strategies into routine bedside care for ARDS patients?<\/li>\n<li>Considering the balance between oxygenation improvement and mechanical lung stress, what further research is necessary to refine individualized PEEP settings for ARDS management?<\/li>\n<li>What barriers might limit the widespread adoption of respiratory mechanics-driven approaches to PEEP selection, and how can these be effectively addressed?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div data-scaffold-immersive-reader=\"\">\n<article>\n<div class=\"relative reader__grid\">\n<div data-scaffold-immersive-reader-content=\"\">\n<div class=\"reader-article-content reader-article-content--content-blocks\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<div class=\"reader-content-blocks-container\" tabindex=\"0\" data-artdeco-is-focused=\"true\">\n<p id=\"ember81\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\"><strong>Open Access<\/strong> This article is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License, which permits use, sharing, adaptation, distribution and reproduction in any medium or format, as long as you give appropriate credit to the original author(s) and the source, provide a link to the Creative Commons licence, and indicate if changes were made.

approach, an empirical oxygenation-based method (high PEEP\/FiO\u2082 table), and fixed PEEP levels (5 or 15 cmH\u2082O) determined by ARDS severity.
