Article Synopsis
- This study compares variable mechanical ventilation with conventional ventilation in pigs with ARDS caused by oleic acid.
- The pigs were split into two groups, one receiving standard controlled pressure ventilation and the other undergoing variable ventilation with changing PEEP levels.
- Results showed that variable ventilation improved lung compliance and overall oxygen levels, with less lung damage observed in the variable ventilation group, suggesting it may be a better strategy for protecting lungs in ARDS cases.
Objectives: To evaluate the effects of 2 different levels of positive end-expiratory pressure on pigs who had unilateral lung transplants.
Materials And Methods: A left lung transplant was performed in 12 pigs. The animals were randomized into 2 groups based on positive end-expiratory pressure: group 1 (5 cm H(2)O) and group 2 (10 cm H(2)O).
