Effects of duty cycle and positive end-expiratory pressure on mucus clearance during mechanical ventilation*.
Crit. Care Med.. 2012 Mar;40(3):895-902, PMID: 22080638
During mechanical ventilation, air flows may play a role in mucus transport via two-phase gas liquid flow. The aim of this study was to evaluate effects of duty cycles and positive end-expiratory pressure on mucus clearance in pigs using mechanical ventilation, and to assess their safety.
