Efeitos do aumento de pressão positiva ao final da expiração sobre a microcirculação sublingual em pacientes com síndrome do desconforto respiratório agudo

Abstract

Overall, the microcirculation parameters did not significantly change after increasing the positive end-expiratory pressure. However, at individual level, such response was heterogeneous. The changes in the microcirculation parameters could be correlated with the baseline values and changes in the mean arterial pressure.
