The optimal ventilation strategy remains unclear in these patients. We examined the effect of positive end-expiratory pressures PEEP on functional residual capacity FRC and oxygen delivery in a pig model of intra-abdominal hypertension. Methods Thirteen adult pigs received standardised anaesthesia and ventilation. We randomised three levels of intra-abdominal pressure 3 mmHg baseline 18 mmHg and 26 mmHg and four commonly applied levels of PEEP 5 8 12 and 15 cmH2O . Intra-abdominal pressures were generated by inflating an intra-abdominal balloon. We measured intra-abdominal bladder pressure functional residual capacity cardiac output haemoglobin and oxygen saturation and calculated oxygen delivery. Results Raised intra-abdominal pressure decreased FRC but did not change cardiac output. PEEP increased FRC at baseline intra-abdominal pressure. The decline in FRC with raised intra-abdominal pressure was partly reversed by PEEP at 18 mmHg intra-abdominal pressure and not at all at 26 mmHg intra-abdominal pressure. PEEP significantly decreased cardiac output and oxygen delivery at baseline and at 26 mmHg intra-abdominal pressure but not at 18 mmHg intra-abdominal pressure. Conclusions In a pig model of intra-abdominal hypertension PEEP up to 15 cmH2O did not prevent the FRC decline caused by intra-abdominal hypertension and was associated with reduced oxygen delivery as a consequence of reduced cardiac output. This implies that PEEP .
