The observed patterns of hyperdistention and collapse rates across various PEEP levels provide valuable insights into the susceptibility of TB-ARDS patients to barotrauma. Notably, the identified optimal PEEP range between 15 and 17 cm H2O may guide ventilator management strategies in mitigating both hyperdistention and collapse; nonetheless, due to the high variability of lung compliances within groups, we strongly recommend individualized consideration for tailored respiratory support and evaluation.
