Table 2. Physiologic Ventilation Characteristics for Pes EI-EE Bandwidth Determination
Values are those necessary for PaCO2of 30–40 mmHg.
ALI = oleic acid–induced acute lung injury; Paw pk,M = peak and mean proximal airway pressure in cm H2O; PawB, PawA = physiologic mean proximal airway pressure at baseline and in ALI; PEEP = positive end-expiratory pressure; PesB, PesA = physiologic mean intraesophageal pressure at baseline and in ALI; RR = respiratory rate.
