    Gradually reducing oxygen, positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), and mechanical ventilation offers clinical advantages. This approach simplifies management, reduces complications, and decreases mortality in patients with respiratory compromise.

    Area of Science:

    • Critical Care Medicine
    • Respiratory Therapy

    Background:

    • Mechanical ventilation and supplemental oxygen are critical in managing respiratory failure.
    • Optimizing positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is essential for improving lung function.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate a method for gradually and independently adjusting oxygen, PEEP, and mechanical ventilatory support.
    • To assess the clinical advantages and complications of this therapeutic approach over nine years.

    Main Methods:

    • Prospective evaluation of a nine-year clinical dataset.
    • Independent and gradual reduction of FIO2 (fraction of inspired oxygen), PEEP, and mechanical ventilatory support.
    • Monitoring for atelectasis, ventilation-perfusion matching, lung mechanics, acid-base balance, cardiovascular function, and barotrauma.

    Main Results:

    • Reduced FIO2 facilitated atelectasis resistance and faster discontinuation of mechanical ventilation and PEEP.
    • Optimal PEEP levels improved ventilation-perfusion matching and lung mechanics, allowing reduction in FIO2 and ventilation.
    • Minimal mechanical support reduced iatrogenic respiratory alkalosis, cardiovascular compromise, and barotrauma, enabling early weaning.

    Conclusions:

    • This approach simplifies clinical management of respiratory failure.
    • The technique demonstrated significant clinical advantages with few complications.
    • The strategy led to decreased mortality in patients with compromised respiratory function.
