The net result of these possible adjustments in ventilatory parameters is the interaction of the pressure applied in the respiratory system airway pressure end expiratory pressure counterbalanced by chest wall configuration abdominal pressure along the mechanical ventilatory support duration. Refinements in the ventilatory adjustments in ALI ARDS are necessary for minimizing the biotrauma in this still life-threatening clinical problem. It is well known that the main phenomenon of hypoxemia in acute lung injury acute respiratory distress syndrome ALI ARDS is the high shunt fraction caused by the nonaerated areas of the lungs. During the disease .
