  • Title: Airway pressure release ventilation: an alternative mode of mechanical ventilation in acute respiratory distress syndrome.
    Author: Modrykamien A, Chatburn RL, Ashton RW.
    Journal: Cleve Clin J Med; 2011 Feb; 78(2):101-10. PubMed ID: 21285342.
    Abstract:
    Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) results in collapse of alveoli and therefore poor oxygenation. In this article, we review airway pressure release ventilation (APRV), a mode of mechanical ventilation that may be useful when, owing to ARDS, areas of the lungs are collapsed and need to be reinflated ("recruited"), avoiding cyclic alveolar collapse and reopening.
