Tidal volume (V T ) has been considered the main determinant of ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). Recently, experimental studies have suggested that mechanical power transferred from the ventilator to the lungs is the promoter of VILI. We hypothesized that, as long as mechanical power is kept below a safe threshold, high V T should not be...

Background: The authors hypothesized that low tidal volume (V T ) would minimize ventilator-induced lung injury regardless of the degree of mechanical power. The authors investigated the impact of power, obtained by different combinations of V T and respiratory rate (RR), on ventilator-induced lung injury in experimental mild acute respiratory...
