Positive end-expiratory pressure improves elastic working pressure in anesthetized children
(2018)
Background
Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) has been demonstrated to decrease ventilator-induced lung injury in patients under mechanical ventilation (MV) for acute respiratory failure. Recently, some studies have ...
Effects of the positive end-expiratory pressure increase on sublingual microcirculation in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome
(Elsevier Science Inc, 2017)
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of increased positive end-expiratory pressure on the sublingual microcirculation. Methods: Adult patients who were sedated, under mechanical ventilation, and had ...
Anatomical and functional intrapulmonary shunt in acute respiratory distress syndrome
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2008)
Objectives. The lung-protective strategy employs positive end expiratory pressure to keep open otherwise collapsed lung regions (anatomical recruitment). Improvement in venous admixture with positive end-expiratory pressure ...
A lung computed tomographic assessment of positive end-expiratory pressure-induced lung overdistension
(1998-12-01)
The aim of this study was to assess positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP)-induced lung overdistension and alveolar recruitment in six patients with acute lung injury (ALI) using a computed tomographic (CT) scan method. ...
A lung computed tomographic assessment of positive end-expiratory pressure-induced lung overdistension
(1998-12-01)
The aim of this study was to assess positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP)-induced lung overdistension and alveolar recruitment in six patients with acute lung injury (ALI) using a computed tomographic (CT) scan method. ...
Positive end-expiratory pressure in acute respiratory distress syndrome: should the 'open lung strategy' be replaced by a 'protective lung strategy'?
(Biomed Central Ltd., 2007-01-01)
In patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome, positive end-expiratory pressure is associated with alveolar recruitment and lung hyperinflation despite the administration of a low tidal volume. The best positive ...
