Official title
Selecting PEEP in Ventilated Premature Infants by Reducing Ventilation/Perfusion Mismatch: a Pilot Feasibility Study
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is used in premature infants receiving mechanical ventilation to maintain lungs open and facilitate gas exchange. When ventilation/perfusion mismatch is present, areas of the lung that are open for gas exchange do not match up with areas of the lung that are receiving blood for gas exchange. This study measures the feasibility of enrolling and completing study maneuvers in premature infants for a prospective study measuring the responsiveness of V/Q mismatch to changes in the amount (or level) of PEEP.
