It is believed that any tendency for increasing venous return during disconnection does not affect pressures in the pulmonary vasculature for several seconds. This principle is less likely to apply when the lung slowly deflates, as during dynamic hyperinflation in severe airflow obstruction. Although this technique has not been adequately validated in the clinical setting, its simplicity and theoretical rationale are attractive for use in well-selected patients. 32 â ª FIGURE 2-9 The auto-PEEP effect and its measurement.
In recent years the value of echocardiography in assessing the relative filling of the central circulation has been emphasized.
Thus, the LV can stiffen when the RV distends in response to changes in pulmonary vascular resistance or volume loading. Ischemia, inotropic drugs, and circulating catecholamines can also produce abrupt but reversible reductions in diastolic compliance. Shrinkage of RV chamber size, relief of ischemia, removal of adrenergic stimulation, and the administration of nitroglycerin or nitroprusside produce the opposite (muscle relaxing) effects. A balloon flotation pulmonary artery catheter is now available to track right ventricular volume and ejection fraction by thermodilution.
