An Official American Thoracic Society/European Society of Intensive Care Medicine/Society of Critical Care Medicine Clinical Practice Guideline: Mechanical Ventilation in Adult Patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome. Am. J. Respir. Crit. Care Med. 2017; 195 (9): 1253–1263. DOI: 10.1164/rccm.201703-0548ST The aim of this guideline is to provide clinical recommendation on the use of mechanical ventilation in adult patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Methods . This guideline is based on systematic review and metaanalysis of available literature on the use of mechanical ventilation in adult patients with ARDS. Results . All patients with ARDS should be mechanically ventilated with the use of lower tidal volumes (4–8 ml/kg predicted bodyweight) and lower inspiratory pressures (plateau pressure, 30 cm H2O). In severe ARDS, the prone positioning for more than 12 h/d is strongly recommended. In patients with moderate to severe ARDS, routine use of high-frequency oscillatory ventilation is not recommended; a conditional recommendation has been developed for the use of higher positive end-expiratory pressure and recruitment maneuvers. CuОР – ently, there is not enough evidence for the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in patients with severe ARDS. Conclusions . Practical recommendations on selected methods to coОР – ect ventilation disturbances in adult patients with ARDS have been developed. Clinicians involved in the management of patients with ARDS should use personalized approach to the treatment of these patients.
