Positive end expiratory pressure via a portable system in thoracic dystrophy.
The provision of positive end expiratory pressure, via a unique portable system, in the long term management of a child with thoracic dystrophy is reported. The system uses low gas flow enabling a reduction in equipment and simplification of the circuit as compared with a standard continuous positive airways pressure system.
متن کاملPositive end-expiratory pressure.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW In the last 2 years, several reports have dealt with recruitment/positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) selection. Most of them confirm previous results and few add new information. RECENT FINDINGS It has been definitely confirmed that opening pressures are different throughout the acute respiratory distress syndrome lung parenchyma, ranging from 5-10 up to 30-40 cmH2O. The...
متن کاملA proximal system for positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP).
A proximal positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) system was constructed by the simple addition of a venturi T-piece proximal to the exhalation limb of a breathing circuit. The level of PEEP or CPAP was determined by the amount of flow powering the venturi. This system can provide positive pressure in excess of 40 cm H2O without the need for check...
متن کاملThoracic Block Technique Associated with Positive End-Expiratory Pressure in Reversing Atelectasis
A preschool four-year-old male patient had been admitted to the Mandaqui Hospital with a diagnosis of lobar pneumonia, pleural effusion, and right lung atelectasis. Treatment consisted of antibiotics and physiotherapy sessions, using a technique described in the literature as Insufflation Technique to Reverse Atelectasis (ITRA), which consists of a thoracic block of healthy lung tissue, leaving...
متن کاملInteraction Between Intra-Abdominal Pressure and Positive-End Expiratory Pressure
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to quantify the interaction between increased intra-abdominal pressure and Positive-End Expiratory Pressure. METHODS In 30 mechanically ventilated ICU patients with a fixed tidal volume, respiratory system plateau and abdominal pressure were measured at a Positive-End Expiratory Pressure level of zero and 10 cm H2O. The measurements were repeated after plac...
