By virtue of applying small tidal volumes, high-frequency ventilation is advocated as a method of minimizing ventilator-induced lung injury. Lung protective benefits are established in infants, but not in other patient cohorts. Efforts to improve and extend the lung protection potential should consider how fundamental modes of gas transport can be exploited to minimize harmful tidal volumes while maintaining or improving ventilation.

Mechanical ventilation, essential for critically ill patients, contrasts with natural respiration, primarily due to differences in pleural pressure ( ). Natural inspiration decreases , pulling the lungs away from the thoracic wall, whereas positive pressure inspiration increases , pushing the lungs against the thoracic wall. This shift has several consequences.

Phrenic nerve stimulation reduces ventilator-induced-diaphragmatic-dysfunction, which is a potential complication of mechanical ventilation. Electromagnetic simulations provide valuable information about the effects of the stimulation and are used to determine appropriate stimulation parameters and evaluate possible co-activation.Using a multiscale approach, we built a novel detailed anatomical model of the neck and the phrenic nerve.

Background: High-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) minimizes ventilator-induced lung injuries. Spontaneous sigh breathing may augment the functional residual capacity, increase lung compliance, and recruit atelectatic alveoli.
Purpose: To evaluate the difference in the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) in neonates receiving invasive HFOV as the primary mode of respiratory support before versus after sigh breaths (Sighs).

Purpose Of Review: This review aims to provide an updated overview of lung protective strategies in critically ill patients after surgery, focusing on the utility of postoperative open-lung ventilation during the transition from the operating room to the intensive care unit.
Recent Findings: Mechanically ventilated patients after surgery represent a challenge in the intensive care unit. Different protective strategies have been proposed to minimize the risk of ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) and facilitate adequate weaning from mechanical ventilation.
