Unilateral lung hyperinflation and herniation as a manifestation of intrinsic PEEP.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In a 64-year-old ventilated patient with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and extensive unilateral pneumonia, intrinsic PEEP became recognized when the chest roentgenogram showed unilateral lung hyperinflation and herniation of a large bulla to the contralateral hemithorax. The use of an on-line suction catheter may have contributed to the development of intrinsic PEEP. Removal of the catheter resulted in roentgenographic and clinical improvement.

Measurement of air trapping, intrinsic positive end-expiratory pressure, and dynamic hyperinflation in mechanically ventilated patients.
Severe airflow obstruction is a common cause of acute respiratory failure. Dynamic hyperinflation affects tidal ventilation, increases airways resistance, and causes intrinsic positive end-expiratory pressure (auto-PEEP). Most patients with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease have dynamic hyperinflation and auto-PEEP during mechanical ventilation, which can cause hemodynamic compro...
متن کاملExpiratory automatic endotracheal tube compensation reduces dynamic hyperinflation in a physical lung model
INTRODUCTION The effect of expiratory endotracheal tube (ETT) resistance on dynamic lung inflation is unknown. We hypothesized that ETT resistance causes dynamic lung hyperinflation by impeding lung emptying. We further hypothesized that compensation for expiratory ETT resistance by automatic tube compensation (ATC) attenuates dynamic lung hyperinflation. METHODS A ventilator equipped with th...
متن کامل"Intrinsic" PEEP (PEEPi): role of expiratory muscles.
In normal subjects breathing at rest, lung volume at end-expiration corresponds with the elastic equilibrium volume, or relaxation volume (Vr), of the respiratory system. If expiratory duration is not long enough, then inspiration may begin before the system has returned to Vr, such that end-expiratory lung volume is higher than Vr. This condition is named dynamic pulmonary hyperinflation and "...
متن کاملEffects of PEEP on dynamic hyperinflation in patients with airflow limitation.
We have studied the effects of extrinsically applied PEEP (PEEPe) and intrinsic PEEP (PEEPi) on lung volume and peak airway pressure (Paw,peak) in 10 patients with airflow limitation during mechanical ventilation. PEEPe was applied in 2-4 cm H2O increments until values greater than PEEPi were reached. Total lung hyperinflation was quantified by measuring the expired volume resulting from deflat...
متن کاملIntrinsic PEEP and cardiopulmonary interaction in patients with COPD and acute ventilatory failure.
Deviation of end-expiratory lung volume from the elastic equilibrium volume of the respiratory system is recognized as a cardinal feature in mechanically-ventilated patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and acute ventilatory failure (AVF). The presence of dynamic hyperinflation implies that alveolar pressure remains positive throughout expiration. At the end of the e...
