[Dynamic pressure-volume curve predicts the optimal positive end-expiratory pressure in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome].
To predict the best positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients with dynamic lung pressure-volume (P-V) curve. ⋯ When ARDS patients are treated with mechanical ventilation, Pinfd -4 cm H2O and Pinfs -2 cm H2O may yield the best PEEP and show maximal oxygen delivery.
