Protective Ventilation vs. Hypercapnia for the Attenuation of Ventilator-Associated Lung Injury
Mechanically ventilated patients are at risk of developing Ventilator-Associated Lung Injury (VALI). Improved ventilation strategies by lung-protective settings may cause hypercapnia. This study investigated whether attenuation of VALI is attributed to protective ventilation with low tidal volume (V...
