Journal Article
High-Frequency Oscillation in Early Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
2013
Overview
In this trial, high-frequency oscillatory ventilation was compared with conventional ventilation with a lung-protective protocol. When the study was stopped early, hospital mortality was 47% with HFOV versus 35% with the control ventilation strategy.
The acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a common complication of critical illness.

Mortality is high, and survivors often have long-term complications.

Although mechanical ventilation is life-sustaining for patients with ARDS, it can perpetuate lung injury. Basic research suggests that repetitive overstretching or collapse of lung units with each respiratory cycle can generate local and systemic inflammation, contributing to multiorgan failure and death.

Consistent with these findings are data from clinical trials that support the use of smaller tidal volumes (6 vs. 12 ml per kilogram of predicted body weight)

and higher levels of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). . . .
