To evaluate the impact of an emergency department (ED) mechanical ventilation protocol on clinical outcomes and adherence to lung-protective ventilation in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Quasi-experimental, before-after trial. ED and intensive care units (ICU) of an academic center. Mechanically ventilated ED patients experiencing ARDS while in the ED or after admission to the ICU. An ED ventilator protocol which targeted parameters in need of quality improvement, as identified by prior work: 1) lung-protective tidal volume; 2) appropriate setting of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP); 3) oxygen weaning; and 4) head-of-bed elevation. A total of 229 patients (186 pre-intervention group, 43 intervention group) were studied. In the ED, the intervention was associated with significant changes (P < 0.01 for all) in tidal volume, PEEP, respiratory rate, oxygen administration, and head-of-bed elevation. There was a reduction in ED tidal volume from 8.1 mL/kg PBW (7.0 – 9.1) to 6.4 mL/kg PBW (6.1 – 6.7), and an increase in lung-protective ventilation from 11.1% to 61.5%, P < 0.01. The intervention was associated with a reduction in mortality from 54.8% to 39.5% (OR 0.38, 95% CI 0.17 – 0.83, P = 0.02), and a 3.9 day increase in ventilator-free days, P = 0.01. This before-after study of mechanically ventilated patients with ARDS demonstrates that implementing a mechanical ventilator protocol in the ED is feasible, and associated with improved clinical outcomes.
