Effects of varying levels of positive end-expiratory pressure on intracranial pressure and cerebral perfusion pressure

Abstract: In patients with normal intracranial pressure, PEEP at 5 cm H2O did not significantly alter intracranial pressure. The clinical relevance of the intracranial pressure increase at PEEP levels of 10 and 15 cm H2O is questionable because cerebral perfusion pressure did not change and remained > 60 mm Hg. In patients with increased intracranial pressure, higher levels of PEEP did not significantly change intracranial pressure or cerebral perfusion pressure.

“…The technique depends on absorption of near infrared light by the chromophores HbO 2 and deoxygenated Hb. Changes in concentration can be calculated from changes in absorption [23]. A correlation of NIRS data with blood flow measured by microsphere quantitations has been shown for piglets [24].…”

“…The use of PEEP in patients with increased ICP may cause harmful ICP increases, (13) although finding this is controversial. (16) Intra-abdominal pressure can apparently affect intracranial pressure, likely because of increased venous and intra-thoracic pressures. (7,8) Peritoneostomy has been described as a rescue therapy for refractory intracranial hypertension patients.…”

“…Luce et al [81] documented in an animal study that the consequences of PEEP on ICP were more evident whenever the applied PEEP was higher than ICP. Later, McGuire et al [82] , in a clinical study, provided evidence that PEEP levels up to 15 mH2O were not transmitted to central nervous system if baseline ICP values were higher than the applied PEEP.…”
