Description
Summary:Mechanical ventilation with low tidal volume (6-7 mL/kg of predicted body weight (PBW)) and limitation of peak pressure is the standard of care for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and is associated with a lower risk of pulmonary complications in patients without ARDS. The indicated tidal volume was then suggested to the ordering physician as part of the mechanical ventilation parameters.
