End-inspiratory pause prolongation in acute respiratory distress syndrome patients: effects on gas exchange and mechanics

End-inspiratory pause (EIP) prolongation decreases dead space-to-tidal volume ratio (Vd/Vt) and PaCO2. We do not know the physiological benefits of this approach to improve respiratory system mechanics in acute r...
