Article Synopsis
- - The study examines the effects of Airway Pressure Release Ventilation (APRV) compared to standard lung protective ventilation (ARDSNet) in swine models with concurrent lung and brain trauma, with the hypothesis that APRV may better alleviate injury progression.
- - Yorkshire swine were assigned to receive either APRV (9 swine), ARDSNet (12 swine), or a sham treatment, measuring various pulmonary and cerebral parameters over time.
- - Results indicated that although macroscopic and histopathological differences between the groups were minimal, microdialysis data suggested that the APRV group may experience increased ischemia in the brain compared to the ARDSNet group.
