Influence of airway pressure release ventilation on pulmonary gas exchange using ventilatory ratio
APRV demonstrated potential in improving gas exchange and ventilation efficiency in ARDS patients, particularly when used early and according to TCAV. However, no survival benefit was observed. The study's retrospective design and heterogeneity in APRV application limit its conclusions.
