Respiratory failure & ventilation
Lung- and diaphragm-protective mechanical ventilation in acute respiratory distress syndrome
An erratum to this article was published (Intensive Care Med, Oct 2026 ↗)
Study context
- Population
- Patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) on mechanical ventilation
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
- Excessive respiratory effort may further damage injured lungs and lead to diaphragm myotrauma (experimental and observational data)
- Insufficient effort and prolonged passive ventilation associated with diaphragm atrophy and dysfunction
- Lung- and diaphragm-protective (LDP) framework: integrate ventilation and sedation strategies to facilitate timely and safe spontaneous breathing
- Emerging modalities: diaphragm neurostimulation and partial NMB
