Hodgson et al., 2011, [18] | Recruitment PEEP and PMV | Open-lung strategy titrated PEEP and targeted and low airway pressures | Open-lung strategy was associated with greater amelioration in some systemic cytokines, improved oxygenation, and lung compliance over seven days.
|
|
Chung et al., 2010, [19] | HFPV | HFPV and low tidal volume ventilation | Acidosis and hypercapnia induced by VT reduction and increase in PEEP at constant P (plat) were associated with impaired right ventricular function and hemodynamics despite positive effects on oxygenation and alveolar recruitment.

|
Mekontso Dessap et al., 2009, [20] | Sighs superimposed on lung PMV | Impact of acute hypercapnia and augmented positive | Sighs superimposed on lung-protective mechanical ventilation with optimal PEEP improved oxygenation and static compliance in patients with early ALI/ARDS. |
|
Badet et al., 2009, [21] | Recruitment maneuvers on lung PMV | Comparison of optimal PEEP and recruitment maneuvers, lung-protective mechanical ventilation | Sighs superimposed on lung-protective mechanical ventilation with optimal PEEP improved oxygenation and static compliance. |
|
Mercat et al., 2008, [22] | Recruitment maneuvers | PEEP strategy for setting PEEP | Increasing alveolar recruitment while limiting hyperinflation did not significantly reduce mortality. However, it did improve lung function and reduced the duration of mechanical ventilation and duration of organ failure.
|
|
Meade et al., 2008, [23] | PMV with low VT | Strategy using low tidal volumes, recruitment maneuvers | Open lung resulted in no significant difference in all-cause hospital mortality and high PEEP or barotrauma compared with an established low-tidal-volume protocoled ventilation strategy.
|
|
Wolthuis et al., 2008, [24] | Low VT and PMV | Lower Tv and PEEP prevent pulmonary inflammation in patients without preexisting ALI | Lower VT and PEEP may limit pulmonary inflammation. |
|
Pachl et al., 2006, [25] | HFOV | Normocapneic HFOV affects differently extra pulmonary and pulmonary forms of ARDS | HFOV recruits and thus it is more effective in ARDS. |
