متن کاملOn-line monitoring of intrinsic PEEP in ventilator-dependent patients.
Measurement of the intrinsic positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP(i)) is important in planning the management of ventilated patients. Here, a new recursive least squares method for on-line monitoring of PEEP(i) is proposed for mechanically ventilated patients. The procedure is based on the first-order model of respiratory mechanics applied to experimental measurements obtained from eight vent...
متن کاملA Case Where Less PEEP is Best
A V/Q lung scan was obtained in a patient with LLL collapse who was receiving IPPV and PEEP. This revealed absent ventilation and hyperperfusion to the collapsed lobe. After a reduction in PEEP from 12 to 5 cm H O, a repeat V/Q scan showed a more even distribution of pulmonary perfusion. Arterial hypoxemia improved. (Chest 1991; 99:1034-36) D espite continuing controversy regarding the most app...
