Can ventilator settings reduce the negative effects of endotracheal suctioning? Investigations in a mechanical lung model

BACKGROUND: The insertion of suction devices through endotracheal tubes (ETTs) increases airway resistance and the subsequent suctioning may reduce airway pressures and facilitate atelectasis. The aim of this study was to investigate how airway pressures and tidal volumes change when different combi...
