[The significance of point-inflection at static pressure-volume curve in optimal PEEP at early stage of ARDS in sheep].
To study the optimal level of PEEP at early stage of ARDS. ⋯ In the treatment of early ARDS, the PEEP needed may be lower than the "optimal PEEP" determined by obtaining the maximal static compliance. The application of point-inflection PEEP determined at inspiratory static pressure-volume curve was appropriate as the best PEEP.
