Description

Airway Pressure Release Ventilation (APRV) - Early application of airway pressure release ventilation may reduce the duration of mechanical ventilation in acute respiratory distress syndrome



Conclusion: Compared with LTV, early application of APRV in patients with ARDS improved oxygenation and respiratory system compliance, decreased Pplat and reduced the duration of both mechanical ventilation and ICU stay.
