Double triggering in patients with ARDS on protective lung strategy (PLS). The added tidal volume with the second triggered breath results in a VT much larger than what is accepted for PLS (4-6 mL/kg of IBW). Paralysis would benefit this patient to stay within the range of protective lung strategy.
