Abstract

Protective ventilation with low tidal volume (VT) has become the standard of care in patients with acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS) to prevent ventilator-associated lung injury (VALI) [1]. While tight control of VT is more easily achieved with controlled ventilation, assisted ventilatory modes are available, and their performance and suitability for use in ALI/ARDS differs according to specific criteria. In the present chapter, we discuss the effects and applications of various assisted ventilation modes on different aspects of ALI/ARDS.
