Positive-Pressure Respiration (PEEP)

2768  relevant articles (209 outcomes, 258 trials/studies) found for this Therapy

Description: A method of mechanical ventilation in which pressure is maintained to increase the volume of gas remaining in the lungs at the end of expiration, thus reducing the shunting of blood through the lungs and improving gas exchange.

05/01/2002 - "OBJECTIVE: To compare the ease and efficacy of two commonly used methods for choosing optimal positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome: a static pressure-volume curve to determine the lower inflection point (P(flex)) and the "best PEEP" (PEEP(best)) as determined by the maximal compliance curve. "
04/01/2003 - "A recently published randomized, controlled trial in acute respiratory distress syndrome patients (n = 148) comparing HFOV with a pressure-control ventilation strategy (Pao(2)/Fio(2) ratio of <or=200 mm Hg on positive end-expiratory pressure of >10 cm H(2)O) demonstrated early (<16 hrs) improvement in Pao(2)/Fio(2) (p =.008) in the HFOV group but no significant difference in oxygenation index between the two groups during the initial 72 hrs of treatment. "
10/01/1996 - "We hypothesized that using a high-frequency pressure-control mode of ventilation with high PEEP in children with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) would be associated with improved survival. "
08/01/1986 - "Early experiments demonstrated a diminution of cardiac output with the application of positive end-expiratory pressure, and it was not favored as a therapeutic modality until the 1960s, when it was found to be effective in the treatment of adult respiratory distress syndrome. "
09/01/1979 - "Early application of an adjusted level of positive end-expiratory pressure using CPAP in patients with adequate levels of fluid is an effective and safe method of treating selected groups of patients in the early stages of the adult respiratory distress syndrome."
