Meta Analysis[The influence of high positive end-expiratory pressure ventilation combined with low tidal volume on prognosis of patients with acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome: a Meta-analysis].
To compare the effects of high and low positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) levels on prognosis of patients with acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS). ⋯ As compared with conventional ventilation, high PEEP and low tidal volume ventilation are associated with improved survival and a lower rate of barotrauma in patients with ALI/ARDS. It is necessary to further confirm the role of high PEEP only in the ventilation strategy in patients with ALI/ARDS.
