ARDSnet Ventilation Strategy
ARDSnet Ventilation Strategy: Note that the definitions below have recently been revised - however they are included here as they were used in the ARDSNet trial.
Burns, Oxygenation and Ventilation
Burns can affect 4 anatomic areas of the respiratory tract:: Supraglottal; tracheobronchial;
pulmonary parenchymal; and chest/abdominal wall
Ventilator Associated Pneumonia
Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP) is pneumonia occurring in people who had mechanical ventilation within 48 hours of the onset of infection
Electrical Impedance Tomography
Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a noninvasive, radiation-free monitoring tool that allows real-time imaging of ventilation
EIT has medium spatial resolution and a very high temporal resolution
Selective Lung Ventilation
Selective Lung Ventilation involves the isolation of one lung from the other allowing independent ventilation. Usually performed with a double lumen tube (DLT); alternatives are the use of a univent tube or an endobronchial blocker
