Previous studies have shown that the application of PEEP during the mechanical ventilation of premature infants with respiratory distress improves blood oxygenation (5–7). This is because PEEP ...

Higher PEEP levels may improve oxygenation and reduce ventilator-induced lung injury but may also cause circulatory depression and lung injury from overdistention. We conducted this trial to ...

In such patients, raising PEEP to maintain a positive transpulmonary pressure might improve aeration and oxygenation without causing overdistention. Conversely, in patients with low pleural ...

Using a lung and diaphragm protective ventilation strategy guided by a computerized decision support (CDS) tool during the ...

Squeezing the bag pushes oxygen into the person’s lungs, which replicates the action of breathing. A medical professional can attach a PEEP valve to the bag valve mask to help maintain pressure ...

In both groups of infants, there were no differences in oxygenation, a finding which ... of ventilation is most likely dependent on PEEP with an even distribution of the ventilation into the ...

He explained that by supplying the patient with oxygen through the enrichment adapter, and by properly tuning the PEEP valves, the patient receives oxygen and air while being allowed to exhale.

He required high ventilator support and oxygen, with 100 per cent FiO2 and a PEEP of 12. FiO2 is the fraction of inspired or ...
