The optimal relation between alveolar ventilation and pulmonary circulation (the ventilation-perfusion relation) is an even distribution of adequate ventilation, and a proportionately adequate ...

Ventilation with lower tidal volumes as compared ... Influence of tidal volume on alveolar recruitment: respective role of PEEP and a recruitment maneuver. Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2001; 163: ...

In the absence of alkalosis, ventilation and alveolar oxygen tension were increased in treated subjects as compared to controls, and treated subjects appeared to experience fewer symptoms of acute ...

NPPV can improve alveolar recruitment and ventilation and decrease work of breathing and respiratory muscle fatigue. NPPV has the potential for reducing intubation and thus avoiding associated ...
