Paper instructions:
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a life-threatening condition. It is characterized by acute lung inflammation, stiff lungs that increase the work of breathing, and reduced ability of the lungs to adequately oxygenate the blood. Survivors can have a reduced quality of life. People with ARDS usually require an artificial respirator in order to prevent death. High-frequency oscillation (HFO) ventilation differs from conventional ventilation in that very small breaths are delivered very rapidly (180 to 900 breaths per minute). HFO helps with the opening of collapsed lung tissue by providing constant positive pressure in a person’s airway. Please write a 2-3 page paper in APA format (not including a title page, abstract page, or reference page) discussing what advanced forms of mechanical ventilation are an effective mode of ventilation to use when a patient has COVID-19 and requires mechanical ventilation. You must use at least 3-5 evidence-based references to substantiate the claims you make throughout your paper.
