In clinical practice, the addition of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) into a standard anesthesia circle circuit decreases the delivered tidal volume (DTV) to a patient. We studied the magnitude of the ΔDTV/ΔPEEP relationship in two commonly used anesthesia systems. In addition, the magnitude of the ΔDTV/ΔPEEP relationship varies with both pulmonary compliance and volume of gas contained in the patient's breathing system between the ventilator and PEEP valve site, and this was also evaluated. Routine monitoring of expired tidal volume should be used whenever PEEP is added to an anesthesia circuit. |
