Low tidal volume, high respiratory rate and auto-PEEP: the importance of the basics

Recent studies have shown that application of the ARDSNet low tidal volume strategy (i.e. allowing an increase in respiratory rate in order to minimize hypercapnia in those with low tidal volume) may generate consistent auto-PEEP (positive end-expiratory pressure), and this is not efficient in impro...
