Abstract Background We hypothesized that as CARDS may present different pathophysiological features than classic ARDS, the application of high levels of end-expiratory pressure is questionable. Our first aim was to investigate the effects of 5–15 cmH2O of PEEP on partitioned respiratory mechanics, g...
