Respiratory mechanics refers to the expression of lung function through measures of
pressure and flow. From these measurements, a variety of derived indices can be …

Background Individualised positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) may optimise
pulmonary compliance, thereby potentially mitigating lung injury. This meta-analysis aimed …

To minimize ventilator-induced lung injury, attention should be directed toward avoidance of
alveolar over-distention and cyclical opening and closure of alveoli. The most impressive …

Introduction: Obesity is associated with increased risk of hypercapnic respiratory failure,
prolonged duration on mechanical ventilation, and extended weaning periods. Objective …

Конечно-экспираторное давление остается сегодня одним из немногих параметров
механической респираторной поддержки, значения которых не подверглись строгой …

End-expiratory pressure remains one of the few parameters of mechanical respiratory
support whose values have not been strictly regulated using the evidence-based approach …

The setting of PEEP in patients with ARDS has become a standard of practice for nearly 46
years. 1 One of the more widely used methods in current practice for PEEP selection is the …

The ventilatory management of morbidly obese patients presents an ongoing challenge in
the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) as multiple physiologic changes in the respiratory system …

Por eones, el estudio sobre el manejo de la presión positiva al final de la espiración (PEEP)
ha sido exponencial y fundamental para el estudio de patologías pulmonares, sobre todo …

Lung-protective ventilator strategies are considered standard practice in the care of patients
with the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). To minimize ventilator-induced lung …
