Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is used to improve oxygenation in patients with acute lung injury or the acute respiratory distress syndrome. In this pilot trial, the investigators show that adjusting PEEP with the use of measurements of esophageal pressure to estimate transpulmonary pressure leads to improved oxygenation as compared with t...
