An Official American Thoracic Society/European Society of Intensive Care Medicine/Society of Critical Care Medicine Clinical Practice Guideline: Mechanical Ventilation in Adult Patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Abstract: The panel formulated and provided the rationale for recommendations on selected ventilatory interventions for adult patients with ARDS. Clinicians managing patients with ARDS should personalize decisions for their patients, particularly regarding the conditional recommendations in this guideline.

“…Although mortality rates have fallen with modifications in mechanical ventilation, they remain as high as 25 to 40%, and no effective pharmacological treatments are available (1)(2)(3). ARDS results from multiple causes, pneumonia and sepsis being the most common and most devastating.…”

“…Because ARDS-related mortality is high, also in patients who underwent cardiac ­surgery, it is important to diagnose ARDS as soon as ­possible. This allows implementing low tidal-volume ventilation and other evidence-based recommendations previously associated with improved outcomes [10], as for example using higher PEEP and prolonged prone position in severe ARDS. It is important to note that although it is known that protective ventilation improves ARDS patients’ survival, evidence-based recommendations are poorly applied in ARDS patients.…”

“…Although there is still an area of uncertainty for the latter, experts recently recommended lower tidal volume for ARDS and prone positioning for the severe category (22). Overall, only 63% of intubated patients received protective ventilation (with no difference between geo-economic groups), while less than 10% received prone positioning (contrasting with 41% to 52% of patients with a PaO 2 /FiO 2 <150 mmHg), and 5% to 20% of patients had neuromuscular blocking agents, with variability among the 3 groups.…”
