Excerpt
Limitation of plateau pressure (P
plateau) is critical for protection from ventilator-induced lung injury in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) [
1]. Limiting to a 30 cmH
2O threshold is a widely accepted recommendation for lung protection, in addition to the use of low tidal volume (V
T) and positive end-expiratory positive pressure (PEEP) [
2]. Moreover, P
plateau is in of itself a powerful determinant of mortality in the general ARDS patient population [
1], as well as being a component of other parameters associated with the risk of ventilator-induced lung injury and/or the clinical prognosis of ARDS patients, such as driving pressure or mechanical power [
