PEEP is of greatest use in ARDS and generated by attaching an airflow threshold resistance device to the expiratory port of the non-rebreathing valve of a manual or mechanical ventilator, allowing a ↓ of airway pressure to a plateau level Conventional PEEP Pressure is maintained at 5-20 cm ...
(1) a PEEP level of 12 cm H2O with alveolar recruitment maneuvers performed after endotracheal intubation, which were repeated every hour after any disconnection from the mechanical ventilator and before the end of surgery (high level of PEEP group) or (2) a PEEP level of 4 cm H2O (low ...
