How can you use “end-expiratory” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

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.
Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) was set to maintain oxygen saturation at more than 93% and the tidal volume was set between 8 and 10 ml/kg.
Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is an important component of the ventilatory management of acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
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.
Inclusion criteria were as follows: a ratio of arterial oxygen tension to fractional inspired oxygen of less than 300 mmHg at zero end-expiratory pressure; bilateral hyper-densities on a bedside chest radiogram; and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure below 18 mmHg and/or left ventricular ejection fraction greater than 50%, as estimated by transoesophageal echocardiography.
