Airway pressure release ventilation increases cardiac performance in patients with acute lung injury/adult respiratory distress syndrom

Conclusion

APRV may be used safely in patients with ALI/ARDS, and decreases the need for paralysis and sedation as compared with PCV-inverse ratio ventilation (IRV). APRV increases cardiac performance, with decreased pressor use and decreased airway pressure, in patients with ALI/ARDS
