| Parameter | Target for initiation in: Rescue |
Target for initiation in: Ultra-protective ventilation |
|---|---|---|
| Driving pressure | > 15 to 20 cmH2O | > 13 to 15 cmH2O |
| Pplat | > 30 to 35 cmH2O | ≥ 25 cmH2O |
| PaCO2 | ≥ 60 mmHg | ≥ 60 mmHg |
| pH | < 7.25–7.30 | < 7.25–7.30 |
| Respiratory rate | > 20 to 30 breaths/min | > 20 breaths/min |
| PaO2/FiO2 | < 150 | < 150 |
| PEEP | > 8 to 15 | ≥ 8 |
Responses were captured during the post-meeting survey (Round 3) and general themes were identified
