Scientific title
Study objectivesPrimary aim of the study is to show that there is an increase in ventilator free days in first 28 days using high respiratory rate, low tidal volume ventilation technique compared to standard ventilation techniques.
Ethics approval(s)Not provided at time of registration
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedAcute respiratory distress
InterventionRandomised controlled trial. Random allocation to:
1. New Treatment - high respiratory rate, low tidal volume ventilation
2. Standard Treatment - conventional ventilation
