Abstract
A V/Q lung scan was obtained in a patient with LLL collapse who was receiving IPPV and PEEP. This revealed absent ventilation and hyperperfusion to the collapsed lobe. After a reduction in PEEP from 12 to 5 cm H2O, a repeat V/Q scan showed a more even distribution of pulmonary perfusion. Arterial hypoxemia improved.Entities:
