Expert recommendations for setting and adjusting airway pressure release ventilation based on clinical experience and basic science evidence
The panel developed a protocol for adjusting the four APRV settings based on expert experience and solid clinical and scientific evidence for patients with ALI and ARDS, or disorders of normal or increased elastance. Optimizing the lung-protective settings in APRV mode can improve patient outcomes.
