Inclusion criteria were as follows: a ratio of arterial oxygen tension to fractional inspired oxygen of less than 300 mmHg at zero end-expiratory pressure; bilateral hyper-densities on a bedside chest radiogram; and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure below 18 mmHg and/or left ventricular ejection fraction greater than 50%, as estimated by transoesophageal echocardiography.
Heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, and wheeze score (0 = no wheezing; 1 = end-expiratory wheezing only; 2 = wheezing during entire expiration ± inspiratory phase, audible with stethoscope only; 3 = expiratory and inspiratory wheezing audible without stethoscope) [ 20] were also measured.
(7) Ventilation with peak pressures > 50 and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP)> 15 was defined by these parameters.
Expired CO 2 curves were then recorded at a paper speed of 50 mm/s, and only tracings demonstrating a clear end-expiratory plateau, defined as a constant CO 2 value for more than 0.5 s at end-expiration, were used to determine P ET CO 2 . In patient 11, VD A /V T was not calculated because no plateau could be identified on the expired CO 2 curve.
In patients ventilated for ALI, variations in lung tissue volumes and aeration have been observed following changes of position or administration of positive end-expiratory pressure [ 5, 23, 24, 25].
