EFFECTS OF MECHANICAL VENTILATION WITH PEEP ON CARDIAC OUTPUT MEASURED USING PULSED DOPPLER IN CHILDREN

In order to meet metabolic demands, oxygen delivery(DO2)must be sufficient. However, in children with acute respiratory failure (ARF), DO2 is often partially estimated because cardiac output(CO) is ...

Higher positive end-expiratory pressure no benefit in ARDS

(HealthDay)—For patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), higher positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) levels are not likely to improve clinical outcomes, according to a review ...

Positive End-Expiratory Pressure and Tidal Volume During Initial Ventilation of Preterm Lambs

The initiation of breathing at birth is an essential but complex adaptation that must rapidly transition the fluid filled fetal lung to gas exchange (1). Critical components of this transition are ...
