Outcomes were mortality, improvement in oxygenation, days on mechanical ventilation, and ventilator-associated pneumonia.PubMed, EMBASE/Excerpta Medica, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (to Nov 2006); and reference lists were searched for randomised controlled trials (RCTs). Experts were consulted. 5 … ER -
