TL;DR
Adoption of the ARDS Network protocol for routine ventilator management of acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome patients was associated with a lower mortality compared with recent historical controls.

In patients with acute lung injury and the acute respiratory distress syndrome, mechanical ventilation with a lower tidal volume than is traditionally used results in decreased mortality and increases the number of days without ventilator use.

Publication of a trial demonstrating large mortality reductions using small tidal volume was associated with significant reductions in tidal volume delivered to patients with ALI/ARDS, however, wide variation in practice persists, and the proportion of patients receiving tidal volumes within recommended limits remains modest.

The oxygen demands of the patient with ARDS should be minimized to lower the needs for ventilation and pressure, and the least mean alveolar pressure necessary to accomplish unequivocal therapeutic goals should be used.
