If a decision is made to proceed with intubation in these patients, they should not be ventilated with high PEEP. In short, the so-called recruitability of the lung is minimal.( 19) Given the dangers of intubation (to both the patient in terms of rapid desaturation and physician in terms of exposure), these cases are likely best managed without invasive ventilation. Generally, atelectasis, which is a reversible cause of shunting, is not prominent, and the expected benefit of mechanical ventilation is expected to be low in terms of correcting hypoxaemia. Hypoxaemia at this stage is caused by interstitial thickening and early exudative filling of alveolar spaces associated with pathological vasodilation which results in shunting. 69 Tracheoesophageal Fistula Post Ingestion of Oxtail Bone 65 Unusual Histopathologies of the Appendix
