  • (2) LTV was found to be decreased in animals treated with PEEP.
  • (3) Decreasing inadvertent PEEP by lengthening the expiratory time increased the compliance of the respiratory system (r = -0.74, n = 10, P less than 0.02).
  • (4) Experiments in volume- expanded healthy volunteers also suggest that CMV with PEEP is able to depress plasma levels of alpha-ANP.
  • (5) Most of these patients were managed without paralysis using intermittent mandatory ventilation and positive-end expiratory pressure (PEEP).
  • (6) The effects on gas exchange and hemodynamics were compared with those of CPPV with PEEP, with the premise that CNPV might sustain venous return and improve QT.
  • (7) Selective PEEP caused a larger volume increase in the dependent lung than general PEEP.
  • (8) In seven patients with severe respiratory distress, conventional mechanical ventilation and PEEP were used initially for respiratory support, which was changed to high-frequency percussive ventilation (HFPV) at the same level of airway pressure and FIO2.

  • (14) Four of the patients (14 percent) developed a pneumothorax following institution of high PEEP therapy.
  • (15) Although PEEP, SN, and EMB all increased mean pulmonary arterial pressure, PEEP, had negligible effect on Zc and Ca, whereas SN increased Zc but decreased Ca (+24% and -49%, respectively), and EMB decreased both Zc and Ca (-33% and -39%, respectively).
