Key Points

To compare the impact of four PEEP titration methods on respiratory system compliance in ARDS patients.
Single-center randomized controlled study
Included patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome
Compared four PEEP titration methods over three days of mechanical ventilation
Analyzed agreement between PEEP and compliance values after randomization
Significant differences in compliance were observed among the PEEP titration methods
Some methods showed better improvement in respiratory compliance than others
Agreement between derived PEEP and compliance values varied across methods

Abstract

Objective To compare the effects of four positive end-expiratory pressure titration methods on respiratory system compliance over the first 3 days of mechanical ventilation and to analyze the agreement between derived positive end-expiratory pressure and compliance values among these methods immediately after randomization. Methods Single-center, randomized study acute respiratory distress syndrome patients were assigned …
