Ventilatory Strategies From Recent Clinical Trials for Adult VV ECMO
| CESAR2 | EOLIA1 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Ventilatory Mode | PCV | V-AC | APRV |
| Set Parameter | 10 cmH2O above PEEP | VT for Pplat ≤ 24 cmH2O | Phigh ≤ 24 cmH2O |
| PEEP (cmH2O) | 10 | ≥ 10 | ≥ 10 |
| Respiratory Rate (breaths/min) | 10 | 10–30 | Spontaneous |
| FiO2 | 0.30 | 0.30–0.50 | 0.30–0.50 |
Abbreviations: APRV, airway pressure release ventilation; FiO2, fraction of inspired oxygen; PCV, pressure controlled ventilation; PEEP, positive end-expiratory pressure; VT, tidal volume; V-AC, volume-assist control ventilation
