Abstract
The effect of positive end-expired pressure ventilation (PEEP) on mean systemic arterial pressure, mean pulmonary arterial pressure, mean pulmonary wedge pressure, mean intracranial pressure (ICP), and cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP), in a case of neurogenic pulmonary oedema (NPO) is presented. PEEP improved oxygenation, reduced, and finally stopped clinical pulmonary oedema. In this patient PEEP produced severe systemic hypotension. As a consequence of this, CPP was impaired.
