permissive hypercapnia, a stretch-limiting ventilation strategy, often results in high Pa(CO(2)). This strategy is associated with reduced morbidity and mortality in premature infants and its benefits have been attributed to diminished barotrauma. However, little is known about the independent effect of high CO(2) levels during the lung development.
