TY - JOUR T1 - Use of Hypothermia to Allow Low-Tidal-Volume Ventilation in a Patient With ARDS JF - Respiratory Care SP - 1956 LP - 1958 DO - 10.4187/respcare.01211 VL - 56 IS - 12 AU - Melissa Duan AU - Lorenzo Berra AU - Asheesh Kumar AU - Susan Wilcox AU - Steve Safford AU - Robert Goulet AU - Michelle Lander AU - Ulrich Schmidt Y1 - 2011/12/01 UR - http://rc.rcjournal.com/content/56/12/1956.abstract N2 - Low-tidal-volume ventilation reduces mortality in patients with ARDS, but there are often challenges in implementing lung-protective ventilation, such as acidosis from hypercapnia. In a patient with severe ARDS we achieved adequate ventilation with a very low tidal volume (4 mL/kg ideal body weight) by inducing mild hypothermia (body temperature 35–36°C). ER -
