ounterbalances the shift between hyperpnoea and hypoventilation by applying variable pressure support and thus overcomes the ventilatory overshoot. During hypoventilation the difference between inspiratory and expiratory pressure, that means the pressure support and the tidal volume, increases while it is reduced during hyperventilation. In addition, ASV devices provide an expiratory positive airway pressure to eliminate obstructive apnoeas and hypopnoeas and also apply mandatory breaths to treat central apnoeas

The MSLT is a full-day test that consists of five scheduled naps separated by two-hour breaks. During each nap trial, you will lie quietly in bed and try to go to sleep. Once the lights go off, the test will measure how long it takes for you to fall asleep. You will be awakened after sleeping 15 minutes. If you do not fall asleep within 20 minutes, the nap trial will end.

Some patients with an unexpandable lung exhibit the typical clinical presentation following therapeutic thoracentesis: (1) the development of an unexpected pneumothorax; (2) inability to fully expand the lung; or (3) the inability to completely drain the effusion due to the development of substernal chest pain.

Lung Entrapment
causes
coronary artery bypass graft surgery, postcardiac injury syndrome, empyema/complicated parapneumonic effusions, uremia, radiation therapy, and rheumatoid pleurisy

trapped lung
causes
oronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), especially when the internal mammary artery is harvested; an empyema or complicated parapneumonic effusion; uremic pleuritis; hemothorax; radiation pleuritis; and rheumatoid pleurisy.

PEEP
Intrinsic PEEP (auto)

Extrinsic PEEP (applied)
auto-PEEP
Incomplete expiration prior to the initiation of the next breath causes progressive air trapping (hyperinflation). This accumulation of air increases alveolar pressure at the end of expiration
Incomplete expiration prior to the initiation of the next breath causes progressive air trapping (hyperinflation). This accumulation of air increases alveolar pressure at the end of expiration
causes o auto-PEEP
high minute ventilation (hyperventilation)
expiratory flow limitation (obstructed airway) expiratory resistance (narrow airway)
Extrinsic PEEP (applied)
A small amount of applied PEEP (3 to 5 cmH2O) is used in most mechanically ventilated patients to mitigate end-expiratory alveolar collapse
