title: Implementing and troubleshooting high-frequency oscillatory ventilation in adults in the intensive care unit.
abstract: This article provides general guidelines for application and titration of HFOV; however, the use of HFOV in adults with ARDS still is considered experimental. Further evaluation of the efficacy of HFOV and potential impact on outcomes are needed in adults, particularly in the form of randomized, controlled trials.
