[Optimal positive and expiratory pressure in adult respiratory distress syndrome (author's transl)]. 1979

J Labrousse, and A Tenaillon, and M L Coussa, and J Longchal, and J Lissac

We defined a new optimal positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) in the adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The optimal PEEP is the one which allows to obtain a PaO2 greater than or equal to 400 mmHg and/or an intrapulmonary shunt less than or equal to 15 p. cent, the cardiac output being held constant. 14 cases of ARDS have been treated by this method with encouraging results. The earlier optimal PEEP was applied, the more effective it was.

D010100 Oxygen An element with atomic symbol O, atomic number 8, and atomic weight [15.99903; 15.99977]. It is the most abundant element on earth and essential for respiration. Dioxygen,Oxygen-16,Oxygen 16
D011175 Positive-Pressure Respiration A method of mechanical ventilation in which pressure is maintained to increase the volume of gas remaining in the lungs at the end of expiration, thus reducing the shunting of blood through the lungs and improving gas exchange.
