I presume you're referring to the weaning process. The only setting that I can think of in which this might not work is that in which very high PEEP settings are required (eg, ≥ 15 cm H2O PEEP in ...

Since the advent of invasive positive pressure ventilation, intensivists have been arguing over how to optimize settings. For patients with moderate to- severe acute respiratory distress syndrome ...

In the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) may decrease ventilator-induced lung injury by keeping lung regions open that otherwise would be collapsed.

(HealthDay)—For patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), higher positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) levels are not likely to improve clinical outcomes, according to a review ...

In 1967, Ashbaugh et al. 1 introduced the use of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) during mechanical ventilation to treat refractory hypoxemia in patients with the acute respiratory distress ...

Mechanical ventilation, the use of a machine to help a person breathe, was not something many people thought about all that often—until the COVID pandemic struck. Stories of patients being put on ...
