Abstract Following the initial observation in animal models as early as 1967, a key paper in 1974 demonstrating that high inspiratory pressures caused lung injury [] (Fig. ), crystallized the recognition..

Abstract OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate if a ‘protective’ (low-tidal/low-frequency) ventilation strategy can shorten the postoperative ventilation time and minimize acute lung injury in children..

Abstract Background There is no consensus on which lung-protective strategies should be used in cardiac surgery patients. Sparse and small randomized clinical and animal trials suggest that maintaining mechanical ventilation..

Mechanical ventilation (MV) is a crucial element in the management of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), because there is high level evidence that a low tidal volume of 6ml/kg (protective..
