To study the effect of positive airway pressure (Paw) on the pressure gradient for venous return [the difference between mean systemic filling pressure (Pms) and right atrial pressure (Pra)], we investigated 10 patients during general anesthesia for implantation of defibrillator devices,Paw was varied under apnea from 0 to 15 cmH(2)O, which increased Pra From 7.3 +/- 3.1 to 10.0 +/- 2.3 mmHg and decreased left ventricular stroke volume by 23 +/- 22%. Episodes of ventricular fibrillation, induced for defibrillator testing, were performed during 0- and 15-cmH(2)O Paw to measure Pms (value of Pra 7.5 s after onset of circulatory arrest). Positive Paw increased Pms from 10.2 +/- 3.5 to 12.7 +/- 3.2 mmHg, and thus the pressure gradient for venous return (Pms - Pra) remained unchanged. Echocardiography did not reveal signs of vascular collapse of the inferior and superior vena cava due to lung expansion. In conclusion, we demonstrated that; positive Paw equally increases Pra and Pms in humans and alters venous return without changes in the pressure gradient (Pms - Pra).
