After initial stabilization, it is critical to appropriately titrate settings to minimize ventilator-induced lung injury. One of the most common methods for doing this is careful monitoring of the plateau pressure ( Figure 2) . It is also important to monitor the patient's driving pressure, or difference between the PEEP and plateau pressure, as increased driving pressures have been associated with higher mortality in ARDS (10).
