Positive end-expiratory pressure may decrease arterial oxygen tension in the presence of a collapsed lung region.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Liquid lung ventilation has been demonstrated to improve cardiorespiratory function after cardiopulmonary bypass. We hypothesized that liquid lung ventilation (LLV) would decrease the pulmonary inflammatory response after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). DESIGN:Prospective, randomized, experimental, controlled,...
