Automation of ALI/ARDS Ventilation in Children

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Pediatric and Neonatal Mechanical Ventilation

Abstract

While the basic principles of lung protective ventilation have been embraced by pediatric intensive care physicians, there is still great variability in ventilator management (Santschi et al. 2010). Although most critical care practitioners believe they are being lung protective, it is likely that replicable and consistent decisions are not made to minimize ventilator support across the duration of mechanical ventilation for patients with lung injury.
