Appropriateness of ventilation strategies for burn inhalation injury and/or acute respiratory distress syndrome. For each statement, median scores were calculated. Statements with median score of < 3.5 were classed as inappropriate (red background), ≥ 3.5 and < 6.5 as uncertain (amber background) and ≥ 6.5 as appropriate (green background). Lung protective ventilatory strategies were defined as tidal volume < 6 mL/kg ideal body weight, plateau pressure < 30 cmH20. Disagreement was present for one statement (DI ≥ 1). BII, burn inhalation injury. ARDS, acute respiratory distress syndrome. Panellists n = 10. ‡Denotes disagreement (DI ≥ 1)
