Positive end-expiratory pressure and variable ventilation in lung-healthy rats under general anesthesia.

Positive end-expiratory pressure and variable ventilation in lung-healthy rats under general anesthesia.

OBJECTIVES: Variable ventilation (VV) seems to improve respiratory function in acute lung injury and may be combined with positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) in order to protect the lungs even in healthy subjects. We hypothesized that VV in combination with moderate levels of PEEP reduce the det...
