Positive pressure ventilation with PEEP may be required in patients with increased IAP. Separately, PEEP and increase IAP have been shown in both man and animals to have significant hemodynamic effects. The results of this study demonstrated that, in dogs, the combination of PEEP with elevated IAP results in markedly increased CVP, PCWP, mean PAP and PVR. CO is depressed but to no greater degree than with the combination of IAP and positive pressure ventilation without PEEP. Interestingly, serum lactate levels markedly increase when both PEEP and IAP are applied, a finding not explained by the fall in CO. Possibly, the combination of PEEP with elevated IAP inhibits hepatic metabolism of lactate. Measures taken to reduce IAP and PEEP may not only improve hemodynamics but may result in reduced serum lactate levels.

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.

D011669 Pulmonary Wedge Pressure The blood pressure as recorded after wedging a CATHETER in a small PULMONARY ARTERY; believed to reflect the PRESSURE in the pulmonary CAPILLARIES.

D012121 Respiration, Artificial Any method of artificial breathing that employs mechanical or non-mechanical means to force the air into and out of the lungs. Artificial respiration or ventilation is used in individuals who have stopped breathing or have RESPIRATORY INSUFFICIENCY to increase their intake of oxygen (O2) and excretion of carbon dioxide (CO2).
