Positive End-Expiratory Pressure (PEEP)
Positive End-Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) is the maintenance of positive pressure within the lungs at the end of expiration
Positive End-Expiratory Pressure
Intrinsic PEEP
Intrinsic PEEP is also known as autoPEEP or PEEPi. Intrinsic PEEP occurs when the expiratory time is shorter than the time needed to fully deflate the lungs, preventing the lung and chest wall from reaching an elastic equilibrium point
