title: [The application of low tidal volume pressure-controlled ventilation in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome].
abstract: Low tidal volume pressure-controlled ventilation therapy was used in 32 patients with ARDS. There were resulted a lower peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) level than that of control group, thus a decline in incidence of overventilation and the overventilation induced mortality. The results suggest that low tidal volume pressure-controlled ventilation may consider as preferred ventilation mortality in management of ARDS.
