Elevated positive end-expiratory pressure decreases cardiac index in a Rhesus monkey model

Elevated positive end-expiratory pressure decreases cardiac index in a Rhesus monkey model

Rationale: Clinicians are often concerned that higher positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) will decrease cardiac index (CI). PEEP affects cardiac index through multiple inter-related mechanisms. The adult Rhesus monkey is an excellent model to study cardiopulmonary interaction due to similar p...
