Respiratory Support and Mechanisms

This cluster of papers focuses on mechanical ventilation strategies, including lower tidal volumes, positive end-expiratory pressure, and prone positioning, for the management of acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It also covers topics such as noninvasive ventilation, high-flow oxygen therapy, and diaphragm dysfunction in the context of respiratory failure.
