[Role of autoPEEP in the optimization of the respiratory pattern in patients with acute parenchymatous lung diseases].

Abstract

The paper presents the results of a study of the impact of autoPEEP (positive end-expiratory pressure) on gas exchange in the lungs, their biomechanical characteristics, the transport and consumption of oxygen by inverting the inspiration/expiration ratio under the volume-controlled mechanical ventilation of the lung (VCMVL) in patients with acute parenchymatous lung lesion, as well as how to choose the optimum inspiration/expiration ratio in VCMVL by analyzing the pattern of total PEEP (the sum of positioning and autoPEEP) in this group of patients.
