D109 UNDERSTANDING THE MECHANISMS OF ACUTE LUNG INJURY: Validation Of Esophageal Pressure By Direct Measurement Of Pleural Pressure In Normal And Injured Lungs

[...]in order to keep the lung open (as assessed by EIT or CT), a PL (calculated on Pes) of 4.4±1.3 vs.5.2±1.9 cmH2O was necessary in normal vs. injured lungs respectively. Conclusions: If properly calibrated, end-expiratory Pes (absolute values) can accurately reflect Ppl in regions where the esoph...

Description
Summary:	[...]in order to keep the lung open (as assessed by EIT or CT), a PL (calculated on Pes) of 4.4±1.3 vs.5.2±1.9 cmH2O was necessary in normal vs. injured lungs respectively. Conclusions: If properly calibrated, end-expiratory Pes (absolute values) can accurately reflect Ppl in regions where the esophageal balloon is located (closer to dependent lung), independently of mediastinal structures.
