Lung protective ventilation strategy and its impact on cerebral physiology in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). ARDS management includes lung protective ventilation, permissive hypercapnia, relative hypoxemia, and increased intra-thoracic pressure from high positive end-expiratory pressure, each contributing to increased intracranial pressure (ICP) and secondary brain injury. The bundle approach incorporating bedside non-invasive neuromonitoring tools can facilitate early detection of cerebral complications and early and timely management strategies. Non-invasive techniques such as transcranial Doppler (TCD) may provide insights into the degree dysfunctional cerebral autoregulation and potentially assist in identifying patient-specific perfusion thresholds in ARDS patients. Electroencephalography can be utilized to diagnose non-convulsive seizures or localize cerebral pathologies related to ARDS complications
