Abstract
Mechanical ventilation which uses low tidal volume, reduced distending pressure, and increased inspiratory time is developed. Morbidity and mortality associated with acute respiratory distress syndrome decreased with protective ventilatory strategies. It was found that reduction in applied pressure and resultant volume could correspond to an overall reduction in ventilator-generated work and power.
