Low Lung Volume Ventilation Strategy
• VT = 6m/ Kg PBW
• Oxygenation Goal of PaO2 55- 80 mm Hg using a
FiO2/PEEP table
• Plateau Pressure Goal: < 30 cm H2O
• Prevent VILI
• Transpulmonary pressure
• (Alveolar – Intra-pleural Pressure)
• Surrogate for alveolar pressure
• Not accurate in chest wall conditions

Clinical Situations Requiring Pleural Pressure Measurement
N Engl J Med 2000; 342:1301-1308
• Visceral pleura: attached to the lungs
• Parietal pleura: attached to the chest wall
• Parietal & Visceral Pleura: functionally
adherent
• During inspiration
• Chest wall expands -> lung expands
(creates: - alveolar pressure that aids
in ventilation)
• Movement of the pleura creates
frictional resistance
• Lowered by pleural fluid
• 2 moist microscopic slide analogy

Take Home Messages
• The pleura provides the mechanical coupling of the
respiratory system during breathing.
• The parietal is the more important structure in fluid
turnover.
• Normally there is a balance between fluid formation
and drainage.
• Pleural effusion results from an imbalance which is
usually to combination of altered Starling’s forces and
lymphatic function.

  • 31. Take Home Messages • The pleura provides the mechanical coupling of the respiratory system during breathing. • The parietal is the more important structure in fluid turnover. • Normally there is a balance between fluid formation and drainage. • Pleural effusion results from an imbalance which is usually to combination of altered Starling’s forces and lymphatic function.
