Fig. 1
Image of ventilator dashboard during clinical deterioration just before the emergency temporary abdominal closure. Ventilation with pressure-controlled ventilation with a set inspiratory pressure of 46mmHg, inspiratory time of 1 second and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) of 12mmHg. The tidal volume delivered was 230mL. The flow-time curve revealed a waveform suggestive of an expiratory flow limitation.
Fig. 2
Image of ventilator dashboard immediately after the exchange of endotracheal tube (ETT). Ventilation with volume-controlled ventilation with a set tidal volume of 440mL, inspiratory time of 1 second and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) of 5mmHg. The peak airway pressure (Ppeak) was 19cmH2O. Thus, the flow-time curve waveform is consistent with a normal expiratory phase.
