The purpose of this study was noninvasive assessment of respiratory compliance and resistance in mechanically ventilated patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF). To this end, flow, change in lung volume, and airway pressure were measured at the proximal tip of the endotracheal tubes in twenty
A previously healthy 48-year-old male developed diabetic ketoacidosis and severe hypophosphatemia. Within a few hours, acute respiratory insufficiency developed with a marked discrepancy between the pulmonary pathology and the very poor oxygenation seen. We argue that this was due to the effect of h
Acute respiratory failure and anaesthesia impede ventilation of dependent lung units and perfusion of non-dependent ones, creating considerable ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) mismatch. General PEEP can improve V/Q but it cannot restore it to normal. To improve matching, ventilation must be distributed
