Spontaneous effort causes occult Pendelluft during mechanical ventilation

Session 08. Lung EIT
In the injured lung, local negative pleural pressure generated by diaphragmatic contraction is not uniformly transmitted, but is concentrated in dependent lung. This causes Pendelluft (using EIT), with shift of air from non-dependent to dependent lung regions. Thus, during lung-protective ventilation with strictly limited tidal volume, the presence of strong inspiratory effort can result in a hidden, local over-stretch of the dependent lung.
