Abstract

Early institution of spontaneous breathing during mechanical ventilation in patients affected by acute respiratory failure due to acute lung injury (ALI) could yield the benefit of preserving diaphragmatic activity [1] and decreasing the need for sedation and muscle paralysis. Recent investigations show that partial ventilatory support like pressure support ventilation (PSV) and proportional pressure support (PPS) may be suitable to achieve this goal [2–4]. These ventilatory strategies act by providing the amount of work that a patient’s muscles are not able to achieve themselves [5], but in different ways.
