Popis: Objective The objective of this study was to investigate the feasibility and influence of opening the lung strategy ventilation on burned patients complicated with ARDS. Methods A prospective study was carried out in 66 moderate to severe burned patients also presented with ARDS who were randomly divided into the control group (ventilated as ARDS net) and the study group (ventilated with open lung strategy). All patients were ventilated with volume control mode until weaning. Results Opening the lung procedure was safe in all patients with optimal PEEP of 14.8 ± 1.8 cmH2O. After 24 h of lung recruitment and PEEP titration, oxygenation significantly improved (PaO2/FiO2 ratio increased from 119.8 ± 7.4 to 263.4 ± 11.6; p 0.05). In addition, duration time from ADRS onset to death and from admission to death were also remarkably longer in the study group (p Conclusion It is necessary to conduct further trials to find out the effectiveness of this ventilation strategy on burns injury induced ARDS.
