Comparison of Positive End-Expiratory Pressure of 8 versus 5 cm H2O on Outcome After Cardiac Operations

Abstract: Patients being mechanically ventilated after cardiac operations with an initial postoperative PEEP setting of 8 versus 5 cm H2O differed significantly only on hospital LOS but the difference was likely clinically unimportant. Thus, use of 8 cm H2O PEEP in these patients without a clinical indication, although likely not harmful, does not seem beneficial.

“…This decline might be due to better levels of arterial oxygenation in ICU after heart surgery in early times by applying 10 cm H 2 O PEEP. Many studies have confirmed that high levels of PEEP can improve arterial oxygenation after heart surgery ( 22 , 23 , 25 ).…”

“…Based on the results of a study on the influence of 5 cm H 2 O PEEP and 8 cm H 2 O PEEP after heart surgery, duration of intubation in the ICU had no differences between the two groups ( 25 ). This result is consistent with the present study and the duration was reduced only in the 10 cm H 2 O PEEP group.…”

“…Multiple review articles suggested that lung-protective mechanical ventilation (LPV) is beneficial during anesthesia in patients with healthy lungs (9,10), and in individuals with ARDS in intensive care units (ICU) (11). Decades of study have demonstrated that LPV may also reduce VILI (12), via the production of low tidal volumes (TV) (13) and higher positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) (14), as well as the performance of regular alveolar recruitment maneuvers (ARM) (15). The effects of different components of ventilation on improving post-operative outcomes in patients with normal lungs following surgery have been broadly explored (16).…”

“…In VILI the “hit” is intensified in healthy lung by mechanical ventilation even if the least harmful setting was set. 5 Lung protective ventilation and open lung ventilation can reduce VILI 6 with several components of protective ventilation strategy, such as low TV, 7 higher positive-end expiratory pressure (PEEP), 8 and recruitment maneuver. 9 …”
