Changes in ventilatory mechanics caused by variations in PEEP and pressure support: study in healthy subjects under non-invasive mechanical ventilation
Introduction: Traditionally, ventilatory mechanics has been delivered in controlled modes through the use of inappropriate approaches for spontaneous ventilation.Objective: To measure the Stack Kits (7" and 8" Kits) changes of ventilatory mechanics caused by PEEP and pressure support (PS) variations in non-invasive mechanical ventilation.Materials
