Abstract
This study showed that increases in PEEP did not affect right ventricular SVV in critically ill patients undergoing mechanical ventilation despite reductions in mean right ventricular stroke volume and end-diastolic volume. This could be explained by cyclic counteracting changes in right ventricular preloading and afterloading during the ventilatory cycle, independent of PEEP. Changes in PEEP did not affect the number and timing of pulmonary artery catheter thermodilution measurements.
