What are the Treatment Options for VILI in Pediatric Patients?
Once VILI is identified, the main focus is on supportive care and minimizing further lung injury: - Adjusting ventilator settings to more lung-protective strategies - Administering corticosteroids to reduce inflammation in selected cases - Providing adequate sedation and analgesia to minimize patient-ventilator asynchrony - Considering alternative ventilation modes like HFV or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in severe cases
