which ventilation strategy helps patients the most out of the lung protective ventilation, driving pressure-limited ventilation, and lung/diaphragm-protective ventilation and sedation strategies.
Patient Type
Ventilated
INTERVENTION Type
Ventilation
GROUP A
• Lung Protective Ventilation Group: This is the standard care practice, involving limiting the air volumes delivered by the ventilator to prevent lung damage. Volumes are calculated based on your height and lung condition (4 to 6 ml/kg).
GROUP B
Limited Driving Pressure Ventilation Group: The focus here is on limiting the pressure on the lung alveoli. The ventilator will be adjusted by the team, emphasizing pressure indicators rather than volume based on height while maintaining good oxygenation.
GROUP C
• Lung Protective Ventilation Group: This is the standard care practice, involving limiting the air volumes delivered by the ventilator to prevent lung damage. Volumes are calculated based on your height and lung condition (4 to 6 ml/kg).
GROUP D
Limited Driving Pressure Ventilation Group: The focus here is on limiting the pressure on the lung alveoli. The ventilator will be adjusted by the team, emphasizing pressure indicators rather than volume based on height while maintaining good oxygenation.
INCLUSION CRITERIA

5. Severe hypercapnic respiratory failure with pH<7.25 and PaCO2>60mmHg for >6 consecutive hours at the time of randomization
