THE EFFECT OF VARYING PATTERNS OF PRESSURE DELIVERY DURING POSITIVE PRESSURE VENTILATION(PPV)ON CARDIAC OUTPUT (CO)
CO decreases with increasing mean airway pressure (MAP) during PPV. Since MAP can be varied by altering inspiratory pressure (IP), expiratory pressure (EP), or the I/E time ratio, and since E during PPV may be...
