Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is an important component of the ventilatory management of acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
Heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, and wheeze score (0 = no wheezing; 1 = end-expiratory wheezing only; 2 = wheezing during entire expiration ± inspiratory phase, audible with stethoscope only; 3 = expiratory and inspiratory wheezing audible without stethoscope) [ 20] were also measured.
Expired CO 2 curves were then recorded at a paper speed of 50 mm/s, and only tracings demonstrating a clear end-expiratory plateau, defined as a constant CO 2 value for more than 0.5 s at end-expiration, were used to determine P ET CO 2 . In patient 11, VD A /V T was not calculated because no plateau could be identified on the expired CO 2 curve.
ALI = acute lung injury; ARDS = acute respiratory distress syndrome; DO 2 = oxygen delivery; MAP = mean arterial pressure; Pao 2 = partial arterial oxygen tension; P (t-a) CO 2 = gap between partial tissue and arterial carbon dioxide tension; PEEP = positive end-expiratory pressure; pH i = gastric mucosal pH.
No level of positive end-expiratory pressure was applied.
