Measurement of air trapping, intrinsic positive end-expiratory pressure, and dynamic hyperinflation in mechanically ventilated patients
L Blanch, F Bernabé, U Lucangelo - Respiratory care, 2005 - rc.rcjournal.com
Severe airflow obstruction is a common cause of acute respiratory failure. Dynamic hyperinflation
affects tidal ventilation, increases airways resistance, and causes intrinsic positive end-…
