Preferred Label : positive-pressure respiration, intrinsic;
MeSH definition : Non-therapeutic positive end-expiratory pressure occurring frequently in patients
with severe airway obstruction. It can appear with or without the administration of
external positive end-expiratory pressure (POSITIVE-PRESSURE RESPIRATION). It presents
an important load on the inspiratory muscles which are operating at a mechanical disadvantage
due to hyperinflation. Auto-PEEP may cause profound hypotension that should be treated
by intravascular volume expansion, increasing the time for expiration, and/or changing
from assist mode to intermittent mandatory ventilation mode. (From Harrison's Principles
of Internal Medicine, 12th ed, p1127);
