Discuss the lung protection strategy.
What will be an ideal response?
Lung protection strategy is a method to prevent the lungs from pressure- or volume-induced injuries during mechanical ventilation. The general agreement of lung protection is to use the lowest pressures (i.e., PIP, PPLAT, mPaw) (or tidal volume) possible. Studies recommend that in most cases, the airway pressures should be kept as follows: peak inspiratory pressures < 50 cm H2O, plateau pressures < 35 cm H2O, mean airway pressures < 30 cm H2O, and PEEP < 10 cm H2O.
