Lung Protective Strategies

Lung protective strategies are techniques used to minimize lung injury, particularly in patients with respiratory conditions or during mechanical ventilation. These strategies focus on using lower levels of oxygen and pressure to reduce stress on the lungs, ensuring that they are not overinflated or damaged. By carefully regulating the amount of air delivered and avoiding harmful pressures, healthcare providers aim to improve oxygen exchange and promote healing. This approach helps prevent complications, ultimately supporting better recovery and long-term lung health.
