Hemodynamic Effects of Different Modes of Mechanical <strong>Ventilation</strong> in Cardiac and Respiratory<br />
Failure: An Experimental Study<br />
G. Zobel*, D. Dacar** and S. Rodl*<br />
Department of Pediatrics* and Cardiac Surgery**, University of Graz, Austria<br />
Study was carried out on 12 pigs, to compare the hemodynamic effects of 4 different modes of Mechanical<br />
<strong>Ventilation</strong> in 3 stable conditions: normal, acute ventricular failure by -blocking agents and respiratory failure<br />
induced by repeated lung lavages. It was concluded that "ECG-triggered HFJV seems to have the best<br />
benefits on cardiac output during control conditions, whereas EOSC [the Hayek Oscillator] seems to<br />
have hemodynamic advantages in cardiac and respiratory failure conditions."<br />
