PROVENet
The European Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care has endorsed PROtective VEntilation Network (PROVENet) initiated by a group of preclinical and clinical investigators to perform multicenter clinical studies, randomized controlled trials, and meta-analyses. PROVENet was established following several smaller single–centre and multicenter investigations into potential protective effects of certain mechanical ventilation settings and/or – strategies in critically ill patients and surgical patients.
The role of the European Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care is to support and facilitate meetings and communication between Research Groups.
Mission of PROVENet
The mission of the PROVE Network is to test novel mechanical ventilation strategies and – devices, as well as non–ventilatory supplemental strategies and –devices, to improve the care and safety of patients who need mechanical ventilation, including those in emergency units, intensive care units and operating rooms.
