The Effect of Lung Protective Ventilation Initiated in the Emergency Department on the Incidence of Pulmonary Complications and Clinical Outcomes
In Brief
An observational study evaluating lung protective ventilation for Mechanical Ventilation and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 1,705 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Early mechanical ventilation, if delivered with injurious settings, can lead to pulmonary complications, such as acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Mechanical ventilation in the emergency department (ED) has been studied infrequently when compared to the intensive care unit; however, data suggests that ED-based mechanical ventilation has significant room for improvement and may also be a causative factor in ARDS incidence.

Interventions
Lung protective ventilation strategy, which aims to deliver safe tidal volumes, appropriate PEEP, limit plateau pressure, and limit hyperoxia.
