Effect of Positive End-Expiratory Pressure on Cardiac Index and Right Ventricular Performance in Ventilated Children Post-Cardiac Surgery
In children with CHD who underwent biventricular repair, cardiac index, RV function, and Cstat generally improved with higher PEEP, indicating pulmonary recruitment. Changes in cardiac performance and Cstat were closely related, with both improving or worsening together with manipulation of PEEP. This study supports the use of PEEP to optimize lung volume and cardiopulmonary interactions after cardiac surgery.
