Lung Protective Ventilation Strategies
| Strategy | Ventilatory management |
|---|---|
| Avoid regional overdistension | Transpulmonary pressure < 35 cm H2O to avoid upper inflection point |
| Avoid barotraumas | |
| Avoid repeated opening/closing of airway | PEEP above lower inflection point |
| Avoid oxygen toxicity | Fio2 as low as possible |
PEEP = positive end-expiratory pressure, Fio2 = fractional intake of oxygen.
