Can fetal pulmonary artery Doppler indices predict neonatal respiratory distress syndrome?
Development of neonatal RDS can be predicted using the MPA At/Et with high sensitivity and specificity.
During mechanical ventilation of healthy volunteers, the addition of PEEP, 10 cm H2O, causes redistribution of both lung blood flow and ventilation, and the effect is different between the supine and prone postures. Our results suggest that the addition of PEEP in prone might be less beneficial than in supine and that optimal use of the prone posture requires reevaluation of the applied PEEP.
