Ventilatory management of acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome
Article Abstract:
A systematic English-language literature search of MEDLINE is conducted to identify reports of invasive ventilatory and adjunctive therapies in adult patients with acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Results reveal that volume- and pressure-limited ventilation strategies should be used in managing adult acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome patients.

Positive end-expiratory pressure setting in adults with acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome: a randomized controlled trial
Article Abstract:
A study explores the optimal level of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) in patients with acute lung injury or acute respiratory distress syndrome. Results indicate setting PEEP aimed at increasing alveolar recruitment while limiting hyperinflation did not reduce mortality significantly.

Refining ventilatory treatment for acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome
Article Abstract:
Evidence indicates strategies with higher levels of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) are safe and beneficial in critically ill patients with acute lung infection and acute respiratory distress syndrome, while strategies with lower PEEP levels could worsen outcomes.
