ARDS, mechanical ventilation represents the treatment to restore adequate gas exchange but may itself aggravate lung damage by ventilator-induced lung injury because incorrect ventilator settings applied. Established strategies to prevent ventilator-induced lung limiting tidal volume, plateau and driving pressure, of prone position, are all capable of survival. of positive end-expiratory use of PEEP (5 to 8 cm H 2 O) in mild-to-moderate cases O 2 2 , Hg) there is no conclusive to support the setting of higher vs lower PEEP in patients with moderate-to-severe disease (Pa O 2 /F IO 2 , # 200 mm Hg). to
