You are called to a patient on pressure controlled ventilation PEEP 15, IP 20, 1.0 second inspiratory time, respiratory rate 32. His SpO2 is measuring 88%; Blood gas reveals a severe respiratory acidosis, PaO2 55mmHg, PaCO2 88mmHg. 1 hour previously on the basis of the following gas: PaO2 60mmHg, PaCO2 60mmHg;

We studied the effects of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) applied by the ventilator on respiratory mechanics in ventilated patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Airway pressures, relaxed expiratory flow-volume curves and end-expiratory volumes (EEV) were measured.

Does high respiratory rate produce intrinsic PEEP in ALI/ARDS patients? There should be no doubt as to the answer to this question. ...

The optimal level of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) for mechanically ventilated patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is unclear. In this multicenter U.S. study, 549 mechanically ventilated patients with ARDS were randomized to receive . . . ... Welcome to Journal Watch. ... Save time and stay informed.

Routine use of PEEP (5 to 10 cm H2O) in these patients has been advocated. We studied the effects of different levels of PEEP on respiratory mechanics in ...

Abbreviations like PEEP, PSV, PCV, IPPV are the jargon of everyday intensive care, yet they convey little or no meaning and are very confusing to the uninitiated. In this chapter I will call your attention to what I ... When the patient's respiratory system can no longer provide adequate oxygenation and/or ventilation,

First, confusion often exists over ventilator terminology, with many of the commonly used terms no more than abbreviations (e.g., PEEP and IMV). ... With the assist-control mode, both a tidal volume and a minimal respiratory rate must be selected in case the patient stops breathing. For example, if the ventilator is set for...

Ten patients with COPD were mechanically ventilated for acute respiratory failure. PEEP was set at 0, 5, 10 and 15 cmH2O. Using the rapid airway occlusion technique, the total inspiratory resistance of the respiratory system was partitioned into interrupter (Rint,rs) and additional effective ( Rrs) resistances.
