In a mechanically ventilated patient with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS / SDRA) receiving Volume-Controlled Ventilation (VCV), the plateau pressure (Pplat) is measured at 26 cmH2O and the set positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is 10 cmH2O. What is the calculated driving pressure (presión de conducción / delta P), and does it meet current protective mechanical ventilation targets according to SATI guidelines?

16 cmH2O; it exceeds the recommended protective ventilation threshold of < 15 cmH2O 36 cmH2O; it exceeds the maximum safe peak pressure limit of 30 cmH2O 10 cmH2O; it meets the recommended protective threshold of < 12 cmH2O 26 cmH2O; it meets the protective threshold as long as plateau pressure is below 30 cmH2O

Correct Answer:

16 cmH2O; it exceeds the recommended protective ventilation threshold of < 15 cmH2O
