Netherlands: A new international trial published in JAMA has found that using individualized high positive end-expiratory ...

I presume you're referring to the weaning process. The only setting that I can think of in which this might not work is that in which very high PEEP settings are required (eg, ≥ 15 cm H2O PEEP in ...

Objective: To obtain optimal titration of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) during mechanical ventilation with functional residual capacity and ventilation homogeneity measurements. Design: ...

Sustained inflation (SI) at birth facilitates establishment of functional residual capacity (FRC) in the preterm lung, but the ideal lung recruitment strategy is unclear. We have compared the effect ...

In the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) may decrease ventilator-induced lung injury by keeping lung regions open that otherwise would be collapsed.

High-frequency ventilation (HFV) is advocated as a lung protective ventilation strategy for the treatment of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in preterm newborn infants. HFV has proven particularly ...
