Abstract
After treatment of arrhythmias, continuous mandatory ventilation (CMV) is the most common therapeutic intervention used in the intensive care unit.1 Recent studies have shown that up to 25% of patients with normal lungs when placed on mechanical ventilation will develop acute lung injury (ALI). A primary driver of this injury is believed to be the use of higher tidal volumes (Vt), presenting a serious medical problem.2-5 With limited options for treating established ALI,6 strategies for preventing ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) are needed. Currently, low Vt ventilation is the only strategy used in attempts to reduce the incidence of ALI in normal lungs.5 Our group has shown that airway pressure release ventilation (APRV), using our specific settings and applied preemptively,7 prevents the development of sepsis-induced ALI and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).8 Because APRV prevented ARDS in these animals at high risk for developing lung injury,9 we hypothesized that preemptive application of APRV in normal rats would also prevent ARDS driven by CMV with eupneic Vt in lower-risk, nonseptic rats.This publication has 21 references indexed in Scilit:
