Thirty newborns with hyaline membrane disease were treated by mechanical ventilation with individualized appropriate positive end-expiratory pressure (APEEP) from inspiratory pressure-volume curves of the total respiratory system. APEEP was started before H24 in group 1 (19 patients), and after H24
