Effects of descending positive end-expiratory pressure on lung mechanics and aeration in healthy anaesthetized piglets
INTRODUCTION: Atelectasis and distal airway closure are common clinical entities of general anaesthesia. These two phenomena are expected to reduce the ventilation of dependent lung regions and represent major causes of arterial oxygenation impairment in anaesthetic conditions. The behaviour of the...
