Flow-controlled ventilation (FCV) improves regional ventilation in obese patients – a randomized controlled crossover trial

Abstract Background In obese patients, high closing capacity and low functional residual capacity increase the risk for expiratory alveolar collapse. Constant expiratory flow, as provided by the new flow-controlled ventilation (FCV) mode, was shown to improve lung recruitment. We hypothesized that l...
