Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a life-threatening form of acute respiratory failure characterized by acute hypoxemia and by diffuse pulmonary infiltrates on chest radiography. ARDS represents a common pathway of lung injury that arises in a variety of clinical settings, most often associated with pneumonia, sepsis, and trauma. Many treatments have been explored in ARDS, but most success has come through avoidance of iatrogenic ventilator-associated lung injury by manipulation of the mechanical ventilator. Using conventional ventilation, we now know that strategies that limit tidal volumes and inspiratory pressures, and which employ higher levels of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) lead to significant reductions in mortality [1, 2]. In recent years there has been an increasing interest in non-conventional modes of ventilation. In this chapter, we review several of these ‘new’ modes and discuss their applicability to the patient with ARDS.
