[High PEEP vs. conventional PEEP in the acute respiratory distress syndrome: a systematic review and meta-analysis].
To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature to evaluate the effects of high PEEP versus conventional PEEP on mortality and on the risk of barotrauma in patients with the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). ⋯ The use of high or conventional PEEP in function of oxygenation does not affect mortality or the incidence of barotrauma in patients with ARDS. However, there might be a decrease in mortality associated to high PEEP individualized in function of the pulmonary mechanics of each patient.
