Occurrence of pendelluft under pressure support ventilation in patients who failed a spontaneous breathing trial: an observational study

Abstract Background Pendelluft, the movement of gas within different lung regions, is present in animal models of assisted mechanical ventilation and associated with lung overstretching. Due to rebreathing of CO2 as compared to fresh gas, pendelluft might reduce ventilatory efficiency possibly exace...
