SYSTEM AND PROCESS FOR DETERMINING A POSITIVE END-EXPIRATORY PRESSURE FOR A MECHANICAL VENTILATION SYSTEM

摘要

A process for determining a positive end-expiratory pressure for a mechanical ventilation system, including: determining values for compliance of a patient's respiratory system during mechanical ventilation of the patient using respective positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) values; and processing the compliance values and the PEEP values to determine a PEEP value as substantially being a lowest PEEP value that provides a highest compliance value.
