Protective Ventilation With Carbon Dioxide (CO2) -Removal Technique in Patients With Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)

January 9, 2009 updated by: University of Turin, Italy

30% of ARDS patients ventilated according to NIH protocol presents morphological (CT) and functional (Stress Index>1) conditions of hyperinflation even with Plateau pressure (Pplat) < 30 cmH2O; values of Pplat lower than 26 cmH2O were associated with more a condition of more protective ventilation.

In patients at risk of hyperinflation, use of alternative techniques such as CO2-removal my allow the reduction of Tidal Volume (Vt) and Pplat.
