Abstract
In seven patients with severe respiratory distress, conventional mechanical ventilation and PEEP were used initially for respiratory support, which has changed to high-frequency percussive ventilation (HFPV) at the same level of airway pressure and FIO2. During both modes of ventilation, patients could breathe spontaneously via a low-threshold demand valve. With HFPV, PaO2 improved significantly (p < .01) compared with PaO2 during conventional methods. Cardiac output was unaffected by the change to HFPV.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
