The Effect of Lung Protective Ventilation Initiated in the Emergency Department on the Incidence of Pulmonary Complications and Clinical Outcomes
Early mechanical ventilation, if delivered with injurious settings, can lead to pulmonary
complications, such as acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Mechanical ventilation in
the emergency department (ED) has been studied infrequently when compared to the intensive
care unit; however, data suggests that ED-based mechanical ventilation has significant room
for improvement and may also be a causative factor in ARDS incidence.

This is a before-after study examining the impact of implementing lung protective ventilation
in the emergency department.
