Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A ventilation strategy of high PEEP (up to 6-8 cm H₂O) is used. Although in experimental studies this does not reduce the total lung water, it redistributes it back into the interstitial space, improving oxygenation and ventilation-perfusion balance. Frequent suctioning may be required to keep the ETT clear. High-frequency ventilation may be required to provide higher mean airway pressures, which has shown to reduce the oxygenation index in these patients.
