The effect of positive-end expiratory pressure on oxygenation during high frequency jet ventilation and conventional mechanical ventilation in the rabbit model of acute lung injury
BackgroundThe use of positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) in patients with acute lung injury (ALI) improves arterial oxygenation by alleviating pulmonary shunting, helping the respiratory muscles to decrease the work of breathing, decreasing the rate of infiltrated and atelectatic tissues, and in...
