Ventilator settings for fiberoptic bronchoscopy during mechanical ventilation: a randomized adjudicator-blinded controlled trial VentSetFib

Key Points

• Bronchoscopy-optimized ventilation strategy reduces pressure-alarm-limited ventilation events effectively.
• Pressure-alarm-limited ventilation decreased significantly, suggesting better control during procedures.
• Randomized controlled trial assessed the impact of ventilation settings on procedure efficiency and support.
• These findings highlight the importance of tailored ventilation strategies in bronchoscopy, suggesting widespread applicability.
