Abstract
Mechanical ventilation is the most important aspect of supportive care of patients with severe acute respiratory failure. Most research directed to improving the prognosis of these patients has focused on improving support of the injured lung. In this report, current knowledge on innovative ways to manage refractory hypoxemia and ventilation without further damaging the injured lung is briefly discussed.
