Study Notes
Right Ventricular Overload and Insufflation
- During insufflation, right ventricular ejection is impeded
- This can cause right ventricular overload and a leftward septal shift
- In patients with pre-existing right ventricular dysfunction (common in COPD), high positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) can be linked to right ventricular failure
- High PEEP in this scenario might indicate right ventricular afterload dependence rather than fluid responsiveness
Right Ventricular Preload and Mechanical Insufflation
- If the right ventricle is preload-dependent, a decrease in preload during mechanical insufflation can lead to a reduced right ventricular stroke volume
- This can, in turn, result in a decreased left ventricular preload during expiration due to the pulmonary transit time
Respiratory and Circulatory Pump Interplay
- Mechanical insufflation affects the interplay between the respiratory and circulatory pumps within the thorax
- This happens primarily due to the changes in intrathoracic pressure
- Intrathoracic pressure fluctuations are transmitted to the cardiac cavities and influence alveolar pressure
- This complex interaction can impact lung function and overall hemodynamics
