Assessment of dead-space ventilation in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome: a prospective observational study

BACKGROUND: Physiological dead space (V(D)/V(T)) represents the fraction of ventilation not participating in gas exchange. In patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), V(D)/V(T) has prognostic value and can be used to guide ventilator settings. However, V(D)/V(T) is rarely calculated...
