Adopt a protective ventilation strategy. Aim for a pO2 >60 and SpO2 > 90%. Tidal volumes 6-8ml/kg. Peak inspiratory pressure <30cm H2O. PEEP up to 15cm H2O. RR up to 35/min. Permissive hypercapnia (if a raised ICP is not of concern) tolerating a pH down to 7.2. #ref

You can find the mechanically optimal PEEP (to minimise peak airway pressure) by modifying the PEEP while maintaining the same inspiratory pressure and noting which PEEP results in the greatest tidal volumes. refl.in/peep
