Study Objective: Although a moderate positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) level is widely recommended, it is unknown whether moderate PEEP during mechanical ventilation has adverse effects during severe hemorrhagic shock. Therefore, the purpose of our study was to evaluate the effects of 0 cm H2O PEEP versus 5 cm H2O PEEP versus 10 cm H2O PEEP on short-term survival in a porcine model of severe hemorrhagic shock. Secondary study endpoints were hemodynamic variables and blood gases.
Methods: Twenty-four anesthetized pigs were bled approximately 45 mL/kg, randomized into 3 groups, and then ventilated with 0, 5, or 10 cm H2O PEEP. Survival rates were compared using Kaplan-Meier methods with log rank (Mantel Cox) comparison of cumulative survival by treatment group.
Results: Seven of 8 0 cm H2O PEEP animals survived the 120-minute study period, but 8 of 8 5 cm H2O PEEP animals died within 30 minutes, and 8 of 8 10 cm H2O PEEP animals were dead within 20 minutes (P<.0001). Ventilation with 0 cm H2O PEEP prevented a further reduction of mean arterial blood pressure and cardiac output. When compared with the 0 cm H2O PEEP group, end-tidal CO2 declined in the 5 cm H2O PEEP and 10 cm H2O PEEP animals. Compared with the 0 cm H2O PEEP animals, those ventilated with 5 or 10 cm H2O PEEP had higher lactate levels after 10 minutes.
Conclusion: When compared with pigs ventilated with either 5 or 10 cm H2O PEEP, those ventilated with 0 cm H2O PEEP during untreated, severe hemorrhagic shock had significantly improved short-term survival.

Effect of intraoperative positive end-expiratory pressure on post-operative pulmonary complications in overweight patients undergoing elective laparoscopic hernia surgery: A prospective randomised controlled trial.

Introduction: Post-operative pulmonary complications (PPCs) are a significant cause of morbidity following surgery. This study evaluated the effect of intraoperative positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on PPCs in overweight patients undergoing elective laparoscopic hernia surgery.
Patients And Methods: In this randomised controlled trial, 60 patients with a body mass index between 25 and 30 kg/m² were divided equally into a standard PEEP group (5 cm H2O) and a high PEEP group (10 cm H2O).
Expiratory Central Airway Collapse and Pneumatic Stenting With Continuous Positive Pressure Titration: A Technique Description.
Mayo Clin Proc

Division of Pulmonary, Allergy, and Sleep Medicine, Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, FL.
Objective: To provide a standardized step-by-step guide for continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) titration during dynamic flexible bronchoscopy (DB).
Patients And Methods: This descriptive study included patients referred to Mayo Clinic for concern regarding expiratory central airway collapse (ECAC) who underwent DB with CPAP titration from April 5, 2023, to February 9, 2024. Demographic characteristics, comorbidities, pulmonary function test results, and procedural details such as anesthesia protocols, CPAP settings, outcomes of pneumatic stenting, complications, and severity of ECAC were recorded.
A Prospective Randomized Comparison of INTELLIVENT-ASV and PSV Modes in Terms of Weaning in Intensive Care Patients, Istanbul, Turkiye.

Department of Intensive Care Unit, Basaksehir Cam and Sakura Training and Research City Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey.
Background: INTELLIVENT-Adaptive Support Ventilation (I-ASV; C6; Hamilton Medical; Bonaduz, Switzerland) is a closed-loop ventilation mode that continuously controls the patient's ventilation and oxygenation. It sets the minute ventilation, PEEP, and oxygen levels based on the targets set by the clinician and on physiological input from the patient.
Aim: The aim was to compare I-ASV and PSV modes regarding weaning in intensive care patients.
Open-lung ventilation versus no ventilation during cardiopulmonary bypass in an innovative animal model of heart transplantation.

Article Synopsis
- - Open-lung ventilation during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) may help reduce postoperative lung damage in heart transplant patients, based on a study using sheep models to compare ventilatory strategies during surgery.
- - The study found that the group receiving open-lung ventilation had significantly less lung damage and inflammatory cell infiltration compared to the group that received no ventilation (measured by histological scores).
- - Despite showing benefits in lung protection, no significant differences were observed in overall hemodynamic stability between the two groups, indicating the need for more research to confirm these findings in clinical settings.
Individualised Positive End-Expiratory Pressure Settings Reduce the Incidence of Postoperative Pulmonary Complications: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
J Clin Med

Progressive atelectasis regularly occurs during general anaesthesia; hence, positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is often applied. Individualised PEEP titration may reduce the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) and improve oxygenation as compared to fixed PEEP settings; however, evidence is lacking. This systematic review and meta-analysis was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42021282228).
