Abstract
A 55-year-old man is hospitalized with severe community-acquired pneumonia, and the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) develops. The patient requires intubation and mechanical ventilation. An intensive care specialist recommends the use of a low-tidal-volume ventilation strategy, which may reduce the risk of ventilator-induced lung injury and is associated with better survival in patients with ARDS than conventional ventilation.Keywords
