Abstract:
At the intensive care unit of Bachmai hospital, in 27 patients with acute pulmonary deficiency syndrome of different causes, who were undergone invasive artificial ventilation, auto-PEEP was assessed. Patients with ARDS had got auto-PEEP of 9,15±4cm Hg, with COPD 12±2,8cm H2O, with asthma crisis 20,4±7,2cm H2O. The use of specific chemotherapies and setting PEEP equal to haft of auto-PEEP to treat the patients with ARDS and COPD had minished the value of auto-PEEP to 4,67±3,7cm H2O in ARDS, 7±2,31 in COPD and 9,71± 1,67 in asthma; blood vapor level was improved also
