As shown by David et al. when the two approaches to ventilatory support are applied using similar principles the physiologic outcomes appear to be similar. With both approaches the use of lung recruitment maneuvers early in ARDS 1 to 3 day after hemodynamic stabilization in patients without baratrauma is promising. The key to managing ARDS regardless of mode is to use an open lung protective ventilatory strategy. It is not the mode that makes the difference it is the approach used to apply the mode It is now clearly established that the approach to ventilatory support in acute respiratory distress syndrome ARDS can have a negative impact on outcome 1 . Most would agree that overdistension and opening and closing of unstable lung units should be avoided 2 . However the precise methodology to accomplish these two primary goals of ventilatory support is still hotly debated. Should we use conventional mechanical ventilation or high frequency oscillation HFO Should we use low positive end-expiratory pressure PEEP or high PEEP Should we recruit the lung or allow it to gradually open over time In spite of the scores of laboratory and clinical studies addressing these questions published over the years these questions are still .
