What are the adverse effects of IRV?
What will be an ideal response?
During IRV, the increase in mPaw and the presence of auto-PEEP both contribute to the increase of mean alveolar pressure and volume. Also, the incidence of barotrauma may be as high as that obtained by conventional ventilation with high levels of PEEP. Another potential hazard of IRV is a higher rate of transvascular fluid flow or flooding induced by an increased alveolar pressure. This condition may induce or worsen preexisting pulmonary edema.
