Esophageal catheter placement

Correct placement of the esophageal catheter and balloon is critical for ensuring accurate transpulmonary pressure monitoring (TPM).

Setting PEEP using transpulmonary pressure monitoring

One of the greatest challenges when mechanically ventilating patients is finding the correct setting for positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). This task can be made easier by using transpulmonary pressure monitoring to distinguish between the pressure in the lungs and the chest wall components.

How to measure esophageal pressure correctly

A recent physiological study demonstrated that esophageal pressure estimates the pleural pressure at mid-thorax at all levels of PEEP. Therefore, an absolute measurement of esophageal pressure is useful for setting PEEP and monitoring transpulmonary pressure.

While mechanical ventilation has been shown to result in a rapid loss of diaphragmatic strength in animals, there is less known about the time course of basis of ventilator-induced diaphragmatic weakness in humans.

Pleural Pressure Working Group

Pleural Pressure Working Group. Promoting monitoring in respiratory failure

The Pleural Pressure Working Group (PLUG) is an international network of physicians and investigators working on advanced monitoring of mechanical ventilation and respiratory failure.

The group's goal is to promote the research and use of advanced monitoring, to discuss study results, and to provide educational tools.

PLUG is open to anybody interested in this topic and is independent from any manufacturer or private company.
