This work reports the effects of mechanical ventilation with PEEP (CPPV) on DO2. Methods: 7 newborns (GA : 34±2wks) with hyaline membrane disease and 3 children (5-10mos-12yrs) with ARF were ...

A lung-protective ventilation strategy requires optimal PEEP and tidal volume settings. Finding and maintaining these crucial settings during the course of therapy is challenging - even for ...

Of 789 patients without ARDS on the first day of mechanical ventilation, 177 patients had ... 95% CI, 1.2 to 1.7); PEEP (OR, 1.4 per SD; 95% CI, 1.2 to 1.7); sepsis (OR, 1.95; 95% CI, 1.3 to ...

More specifically related to your question, different levels of PEEP have been tried in treating ALI/ARDS patients. In the most recent study, again published by the ARDS Network Investigators ...

Additionally, the use of flow-controlled expiration (FLEX) ventilation has been shown to reduce the need for positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) in anesthetized horses. FLEX ventilation ...
