Abstract
Permissive hypercapnia has been widely accepted in the ventilatory support of patients with the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) as a result of the rediscovery that the tidal volume (VT) and level of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) used in the support of these patients might, and of themselves, cause further injury. The rationale for permissive hypercapnia is that the smaller tidal volumes resulting from lower peak and higher expiratory alveolar pressure would limit lung stretch, thereby reducing the risk of ventilation-induced lung injury [1].
