Expiratory flow limitation (EFL) is often associated with the presence of auto-PEEP. There are simple bedside maneuvers that can be done to determine the severity of EFL. For this subject, the CoEMV invited Detajin Junhasavasdikul MD, first author of a paper on the subject published in Chest, 2018.
The results are in! There were multiple correct responses. The patient indeed has high resistance as shown by the…
