Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in critically ill patients despite advancements in the field. Mechanical ventilatory strategies are a vital component of ARDS management to prevent secondary lung injury and improve patient outcomes.

This webinar will review evidence-based mechanical ventilatory strategies and ventilatory adjuncts for ARDS.

Learning Outcomes

• Understand the spectrum of ARDS.
• The implications of spontaneous breathing in ARDS.
• Lessons from COVID-19 regarding spontaneous breathing in hypoxic respiratory failure.
• Review the evidence of mechanical power in ARDS.
• How to compute mechanical power at the bedside.
