[Mechanical ventilation treatment on acute respiratory distress syndrome in operations by cardiopulmonary bypass].
OBJECTIVE
To explore the early diagnosis of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and the mechanical ventilation treatment in operations of cardiopulmonary bypass.


METHODS
Thirty-four patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome were divided into the traditional ventilation strategy plus positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) group (n=13) and the protective ventilation strategy group (n=21), and their diagnosis and treatment were reviewed.


RESULTS
The average ventilator-carrying time in the protective ventilation strategy group and the traditional ventilation strategy plus PEEP group was (4.8+/-2.1) and (7.2+/-3.6) days,and the mortality was 23.8% and 61.5% respectively. There was statistical significance in the 2 groups (P<0.05).


CONCLUSIONS
The key to ARDS is the early diagnosis and ventilation strategy. Protective ventilation strategy in treating ARDS is more effective than the traditional ventilation strategy plus PEEP, and it can obviously shorten the ventilator-carrying time and reduce the mortality of ARDS.
