The impact of fluid status and decremental PEEP strategy on cardiac function and lung and kidney damage in mild-moderate experimental acute respiratory distress syndrome.
Abstract:Background
We evaluated the effects of abrupt versus gradual positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) decrease, combined with standard versus high-volume fluid administration, on lung, heart, and kidney damage in an established model of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
Methods
Thirty-five Wistar rats received endotoxin intratracheally. After 24 h, they were treated with Ringer´s lactate [standard (10 mL/kg/h) or high (30 mL/kg/h) fluids]. For 30 min, all animals were mechanically ventilated with ti… Show more
