  • Title: Effect of alterations in mechanical ventilator settings on pulmonary gas exchange in hyaline membrane disease.
    Author: Reynolds EO.
    Journal: Arch Dis Child; 1971 Apr; 46(246):152-9. PubMed ID: 5576023.
    Abstract:
    The effect of altering peak airway pressure, respiratory frequency, and inspiration: expiration ratio on arterial blood gas tensions, blood pressure, and calculated right-to-left shunt was investigated in 6 infants undergoing mechanical ventilation for hyaline membrane disease with a Bennet ventilator. The use of a very long inspiratory phase resulted in a large increase in Pao2 and fall in right-to-left shunt without affecting mean arterial blood pressure.
