Annals of Intensive Care, 2021 Background The current Berlin definition of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) uses the PaO 2 /FiO 2 (P/F) ratio to classify severity. However, for the same P/F ratio, a patient on a higher positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) may have more ...

The Pressure-Volume curve, how to set PEEP
Journal of Mechanical Ventilation, 2021 Figure 1: Pressure-Volume curve. Horizontal axis is airway pressure in cmH2O, vertical axis is resultant tidal volume in ml. LIP: Lower inflection point, HIP: high or upper inflection point, PMC: point of maximum curvature or expiratory inflection point.
