โ–ซ๏ธFrank-Starling law is more reflective of LV physiology
โ–ซ๏ธ RV normally unstressed at end diastole
โ–ซ๏ธ RV maladapts to volume overload overtime
โ–ซ๏ธ Distorted RV balloons impedes LV
โ–ซ๏ธ RV perfusion occurs during ventricular systole
โ–ซ๏ธ Vicious cycle ๐Ÿ”„ of RV dysfunction

RV afterload affected by
โ–ซ๏ธPVR
โ–ซ๏ธPul vascular compliance
โ–ซ๏ธLAP

all compromised with excessive PEEP

โ€œmoderateโ€ PEEP can recruit alveoli, reduce hypoxia and improve Pul vasoconstriction

how CAN we tell โ“

โ–ซ๏ธclinical improvement:
systemic pressure
โ–ซ๏ธ ECHO: CO increase

#COVID19 in AICU has demonstrated that the RV is a major player

figuring out what works is just not
so easy โ—๏ธ

mortality for hospitalised patients on organ support and survival to hospital discharge โคต๏ธ
