Abstract
As a rule, during anaesthesia a time dependent increase in pulmonary shunting occurs even in states of normal lung function. Therefore positive end-expiratory pressure ventilation (PEEP) is often used to decrease intrapulmonary right/left shunting (RL shunt) and thus to increase arterial O2 partial pressure (paO2) without increasing the inspiratory oxygen fraction.
