➡️ Positive End Expiratory Pressure (PEEP)
PEEP is essentially an amount of positive pressure that is delivered during the expiratory phase of the breathing cycle. It helps prevent the closure of alveoli in the lungs which allows an increased amount of time for oxygen exchange to occur. This is why PEEP is often recommended for patients with oxygenation issues.

In fact, the most common indication for PEEP is in patients with refractory hypoxemia and those who have not responded well to a high FiO2 setting. So let's say you have a patient who is struggling with hypoxemia. Their PaO2 and SpO2 levels just aren't quite where we need them to be. First you could try increasing the FiO2 setting. You can increase the FiO2 up to 60% to see if it fixes the issue. If not and if the patient is still showing signs of hypoxemia, this is when you would want to initiate PEEP.
