Mechanical ventilation differs between obese and non-obese patients. We examined these differences in an obese (body mass index = 47 kg/m(2)) 32-year-old patient followed up in our clinic. The patient was admitted to the intensive care unit due to respiratory failure. Recruitment maneuvers were performed in pressure-controlled ventilation mode. The optimal positive end-expiratory pressure was 25 cm H2O. The inspiratory pressure was adjusted to 45 cm H2O to provide a tidal volume of 6 ml/kg and driving pressure <= 15. The patient was discharged with full recovery.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessARDSCOVID-19Mechanical ventilationObesityManagement of mechanical ventilation in a morbidly obese patient with COVID-19-induced ARDSArticle2518585358563460497710.26355/eurrev_202109_268042-s2.0-85116098033Q2WOS:000705057500030Q2
