SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SETTING POSITIVE END EXPIRATORY PRESSURE DURING MECHANICAL VENTILATION BASED ON DYNAMIC LUNG FUNCTION

Publication number: 20070240717

Abstract: A method is disclosed for determining a peak end expiratory pressure in a mechanical ventilator system for providing respiratory assistance to a patient. The method includes the steps of determining characteristic values for a plurality of frequencies at each of a plurality of peak end expiratory pressures, and selecting an optimal peak end expiratory pressure value responsive to the characteristic values.
