Simultaneous, biventricular invasive pressure-volume loops, invasive blood pressures, and ventilator data were recorded. Increasing PEEP resulted in stepwise reductions in left (5,740?±?973 vs. 2,303?±?1,154 mmHg · ml; P < 0.001) and right (2,064?±?769 vs. 468?±?133 mmHg · ml...
During this part of the protocol, the animals were ventilated using volume control ventilation, with FiO2 = 1 and square inspiratory flow = 1 L/s. At each step, PEEPi was measured every 10 min, and PEEPe was corrected in order to keep the PEEPtotal equal to the PEEP obtained ...
Sample size calculation was based on effect estimates obtained from previous studies in rodents using similar ventilator settings [8]. A sample size of eight animals per group would provide the appropriate power (1 − β = 0.8) to identify significant (α = 0.05) differences in ...
Aim: To estimate the ability of simulated tracheal suction, adjusting the positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) settings on the ventilator or compressing a self-inflating bag to minimize aspiration during cuff deflation and extubation in a bench-top model.2O was applied when compared with ...
