FIGURE 6. Effect of Auto-PEEP on Volume-Control Ventilation and Pressure-Control Ventilation.

FIGURE 6

As auto-PEEP increases, a compensatory effect will occur on flow (F), volume (V), Paw, and Palv. If auto-PEEP is not addressed, hemodynamic compromise will ultimately occur by respiratory acidosis (during pressure control) or alveolar overdistension (during volume control). Abbreviations as in Figures 2 and 3.
