✓ recruits a certain number of collapsed alveoli

✓ increases FRC & increases compliance in the dependent are (lower

lobe) of lung

✓ *compliance decreases in the non-dependent (upper lobe) area of

the lung due to overdistention




Indications of PEEP


✓ Refractory Hypoxemia (will not respond to supplemental O2)

Shunt of >30%


Atelectasis with decreased FRC


decreased compliance


Certain disease processes




Goals of PEEP


✓ enhance tissue oxygenation

maintain PaO2 >60 & SpO2 at or >90% @ acceptable pH

Restore FRC




Initiating PEEP


✓ FIO2 >.50

PIP >35 cwp


is PaO2 still <60: then start to increase PEEP by 3-5 until:


1. acceptable oxygenation achieved


2. unacceptable side effects occur:


decreased compliance


decreased cardiac function


barotrauma




Levels of PEEP


✓ Minimum "physiologic" 3-5

moderate 5-15


maximum >15


Optimal - PEEP level which achieves maximum benefits with least side effects




Physiologic Effects of PEEP on:
