Compliance with low tidal volume ventilation (LTVV) in the Presbyterian coronary care unit (CCU). Statistical process control charts illustrating changes in LTVV over time in the Presbyterian CCU, which did not actively participate in the quality improvement project. Per cent of mechanically ventilated ICU patient days with LTVV compliance is charted on the y-axis and time is charted on the x-axis. Horizontal light dashed lines represent the upper and lower confidence limits. Dark dashed lines represent the centre line. Red diamonds represent unstable trends. Blue diamonds represent stable trends.
