Intrinsic positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEPi)
Intensive Care Medicine, 1995Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is one of the most frequently discussed topics in critical care medicine. However, alveolar pressure can remain positive throughout expiration without PEEP set by the ventilator whenever the time available to breathe out is shorter than the time required to decompress the lungs to the elastic equilibrium volume ...

Hemodynamic effects of positive end-expiratory pressure
Current Opinion in Critical Care, 2023Purpose of review Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is required in the Berlin definition of acute respiratory distress syndrome and is a cornerstone of its treatment. Application of PEEP increases airway pressure and modifies pleural and transpulmonary pressures according to respiratory mechanics, resulting in blood ...

Positive end-expiratory pressure
Critical Care Medicine, 1983Current treatment of respiratory disease relies on the use of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) during mechanical ventilation. To use this form of therapy, one applies positive pressure to the lung while the patient exhales; PEEP can be applied with the patient breathing spontaneously or with the patient being mechanically ventilated.

Setting and Titrating Positive End-Expiratory Pressure
Chest, 2022Although maintaining some amount of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) seems essential, selecting and titrating a specific level for patients with ARDS remains challenging despite extensive research on the subject. Although an "open lung" approach to ventilation is popular and has some degree of biological plausibility, it is not without risk ...

EFFECTIVE USE OF POSITIVE END EXPIRATORY PRESSURE
Survey of Anesthesiology, 1974Abstract Postoperative hypoxia is frequently only recognized after obtaining chest roentgenograms and arterial blood gas determinations. Serial studies in four patients with hypoxia are presented and treatment with PEEP demonstrates the rapid response with this means of ventilatory assistance.

Positive End Expiratory Pressure
1991Positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) was first used during the 1930s as part of the therapy for pulmonary edema, and later, during World War II, by airplane pilots. However, widespread use of PEEP as a therapeutic method started only after the description of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) (Ashbaugh et al. 1967). Early studies showed that

Spontaneous Positive End-Expiratory Pressure (sPEEP)
Anesthesia & Analgesia, 1977Spontaneous positive end-expiratory pressure (sPEEP) is a simple, low-cost method of providing low to moderate levels of PEEP as an alternative to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), whether used alone or with continuous positive pressure ventilation (CPPV) in intermittent mandatory ventilation (IMV).

Reflex responses to positive end-expiratory pressure
Respiration Physiology, 1984When positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is applied to rabbits there is a large depression of cardiac output. The authors investigated the baroreceptor and lung stretch reflex responses to PEEP in rabbits to determine if reflex responses are important in causing the depression of cardiac output which occurs with PEEP.

Positive End-Expiratory Pressure Therapy
Annals of Internal Medicine, 1973Excerpt To the editor: A few points relating to the recent paper (Ann Intern Med79:187-193, 1973) on positive endexpiratory pressure and its beneficial effects on patients with hypoxemia on mechani...

Life-Threatening Inadvertent Positive End-Expiratory Pressure
American Journal of Perinatology, 1995Inadvertent positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is a potential cause of lung overdistension and impaired gas exchange in ventilated infants. It can be extremely difficult to diagnose clinically and if unrecognized can be life-threatening. Measurement of lung function can lead to the recognition of inadvertent PEEP, allowing appropriate ventilator ...
