Objective  To investigate the curve correlation between ventilation pressure and tidal volume in assisted mechanical ventilation with facemask during anesthesia induction. Methods  Between January and August 2015, 120 patients, American Society of Anesthesiology Ⅰ-Ⅱ, undergoing selective gynecological surgery were randomly divided into four groups: groups P5, P10, P15 and P20, with 30 patients in each group. Mask ventilation pressure for the four groups were respectively 5, 10, 15 and 20 cm H2O (1 cm H2O=0.098 kPa). Patients were ventilated by preset ventilation pressure and frequency based on different groups after loss of consciousness. Mean ventilation volume (mean value of three tidal volumes) and end-tidal carbon dioxide pressure (PetCO2) were recorded for analysis. Results  There was no significant difference among the four groups in patient’s general condition (P>0.05). The tidal volume of assisted mechanical ventilation increased with ventilation pressure degrees, and the differences among the four groups were significant (P<0.05). After curve regression analysis, tidal volume and ventilation pressure showed a positive linear correlation when ventilation pressure was set at 5-20 cm H2O, and the correlation equation was: tidal volume = 33.612×ventilation pressure-53.155. PetCO2 in P5 group was lower than those in the other three groups (P<0.05), while there were no significant differences among groups P10, P15 and P20 (P>0.05). Conclusion  When ventilation pressure is set at 5-20 cm H2O in assisted mechanical ventilation with facemask during anesthesia induction, tidal volume and ventilation pressure show a positive linear correlation.
