Balloon Occlusion Pulmonary Angiography During Mechanical Ventilation With Positive End-Expiratory Pressure in Patients With Acute Respiratory Failure

TLDR
The results suggest that the application of 15 cm H 2 O PEEP can induce a decrease in pulmonary artery caliber, especially in patients with a less decreased C st, and the presence of cut-offs on BOPA angiograms during PEEP should be interpreted cautiously since many of them can be artifactual and induced by PEEP.

Hemodynamic impact of a positive end-expiratory pressure setting in acute respiratory distress syndrome: importance of the volume status.

TL;DR: In acute respiratory distress syndrome patients, a positive end-expiratory pressure increase with limited tidal volume and plateau pressure reduced cardiac output by increasing the right ventricular afterload and restored cardiacoutput by reducing the transpulmonary pressure difference and the pulmonary vascular resistance.

Physiological studies of the effects of intermittent positive pressure breathing on cardiac output in man

TL;DR: Three types of positive pressure breathing have been differentiated and only the latter type of pressure breathing (IPPB) is suitable for maintaining artificial respiration in the apneic subject.

Ventilation with end-expiratory pressure in acute lung disease

TL;DR: The most probable explanation for the effect of PEEP on P(aO2) and compliance is recruitment of gas exchange airspaces and prevention of terminal airway closure.

Total Respiratory Pressure-Volume Curves in the Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome

TL;DR: In this article, sequential pressure-volume curves were obtained in 19 patients with the adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARSD) and compared with the normal compliance measured during deflation, little hysteresis, and no inflection in the ascending limb of the pressurevolume tracing.

Hemodynamic responses to mechanical ventilation with PEEP: the effect of hypervolemia.

TL;DR: Acute decreases in cardiac filling pressure, cardiac index, and stroke index persist consequent to application of PEEP, and circulatory adaptation does not occur, but when PEEP is discontinued, hypervolemia with consequent increases in filling pressures and a move along a ventricular function curve will occur.

Total Respiratory Pressure-VolumeCurves in the Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome*

TL;DR: To assess the value of measuring compliance in the adult respiratory distress syndrome, sequential pressure-volume curves were obtained in 19 patients with this syndrome and patterns were correlated with the stage of the adult lungs distress syndrome and to the pattern of the chest x-ray film.
