Optimized ventilation power to avoid VILI

Abstract The effort to minimize VILI risk must be multi-pronged. The need to adequately ventilate, a key determinant of hazardous power, is reduced by judicious permissive hypercapnia, reduction of innate oxygen demand, and by prone body positioning that promotes both efficient pulmonary gas exchang...
