Abstract: The selection of optimal positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) levels during mechanical ventilation therapy of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) remains a problem for clinicians. A particular mooted strategy states that minimizing the energy… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Mechanical ventilation is a primary therapy for patients with acute respiratory failure. However, poorly selected ventilator settings can cause lung damage due to the heterogeneity of healthy and damaged alveoli. A commonly used lung… read more here.
