Basic VAC Rule

1. Baseline Period of Stability: ≥ 2 calendar days of stable or decreasing min PEEP or FiO2 immediately preceding the first day of increased daily minimum PEEP or FiO2.

2. Worsening oxygenation – Changes sustained for ≥ calendar days:1. Increase in daily min PEEP of ≥ 3 cm H2O over PEEP

baseline period2. Increase in daily min FiO2 of ≥ 0.20 (20%) over the

daily minimum FiO2.
