Acute Left Ventricular Dysfunction During Weaning from Mechanical Ventilation

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Update in Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine ((UICM,volume 14))

Abstract

Mechanical ventilation (MV) is commonly required in patients with acute respiratory failure. The beneficial effects of MV on lung mechanics and pulmonary gas exchange have been extensively developed. During the least years, the potentially beneficial effect of MV on the cardiopulmonary balance in patients with congestive heart failure, has been emphasized. Positive pressure ventilation has been proposed to improve left ventricular (LV) function in patients with congestive heart failure, by an increase in intrathoracic pressure (ITP) [1, 2]. Yet, an increase in ITP may reduce cardiac output in normal humans by a decrease in the pressure gradient for systemic venous return [3, 5]. This preload-reducing effect of increased ITP has been shown to be the cause of decreased cardiac output during ventilation with pulmonary end-expiration pressure (PEEP) [6].
