Abstract

PURPOSE: The ARDS Network trial showed that use of low tidal volume (Vt) improved mortality, possibly by minimizing stretch-induced lung injury. We performed a cross-sectional analysis of all patients on mechanical ventilation (MV) in eight intensive care units (ICU) among four hospitals via remote electronic ICU monitoring. We compared Vt among patients stratified by ICU setting and by MV indication.
