Automated Detection of Incomplete Exhalation as an Indirect Detection of Auto-PEEP on Mechanically Ventilated Adults
<p>Auto-PEEP is auto positive end-expiratory pressure due to excessive amounts of alveolar gas produced by sustained recurrent incomplete exhalation. Incomplete exhalation occurs when the exhaled breath never reaches a flow rate of 0 L/min. The objective of this dissertation is to develop an …

EFFECTS OF ARTIFICIALLY - INDUCED INTRINSIC POSITIVE END - EXPIRATORY PRESSURE IN MECHANICALLY VENTILATED PATIENTS WITH ACUTE RESPIRATORY FAILURE.
… of external positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEPe), mechanical ventilation artificially inducing intrinsic PEEP (PEEPi) worsens arterial oxygen tension (PaO2) by causing a less homogeneous distribution of inspired gas, even if tidal volume (Vt), respiratory rate (RR) and total PEEP (PEEPtot) …
