PEEP is used for patients supported by mechanical ventilation (breathing with the help of a machine). It provides positive pressure when a breath is exhaled to make sure that the air sacs in the lungs (alveoli) are getting enough oxygen. Alveoli are small air spaces in the lungs where the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide (ventilation) occurs.W...
PEEP is available on most mechanical ventilators and is used for intubated people who require a machine to help them breathe and distribute oxygen to the blood. It is a ventilator setting designed to keep the smaller passages of the lungs, such as the alveoli, open during the expiratory, or breathing-out, phase. PEEP is different from continuous po...
PEEP is used when a person needs mechanical ventilation because they are unable to breathe on their own. Healthcare providers often refer to this as acute respiratory failure. Common causes of acute respiratory failure include: 1. Lung infection (like pneumonia) 2. Opioid overdose 3. Stroke 4. Lung or spinal cord injury Depending on the severity of...
PEEP can effectively manage acute respiratory failure and other lung conditionsrequiring breathing support. Keeping the airways and alveoli open is crucial for proper blood oxygenation and lung healing. PEEP has potential complications and should be applied by a respiratory professional like a pulmonologist. The healthcare provider administering PE...
Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) keeps the airways and small lung spaces open to allow for adequate oxygenation when a person cannot breathe on their own. If the lungs cannot oxygenate properly, the individual may need to be intubated and placed on mechanical ventilation to allow the lungs time to heal. PEEP is a function of the mechanical v...
It can be overwhelming and upsetting to be informed by your healthcare provider that you or a loved one has acute respiratory failure. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider to ensure proper management of your lung health. If you already have a lung condition, avoiding tobacco products and reducing alcohol use can improve lung hea...

Positive End-Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) is the maintenance of positive pressure (above atmospheric) at the airway opening at the end of expiration. PEEP acts to distend distal alveoli, assuming there is no airway obstruction. PEEP is routinely used in mechanical ventilation to prevent collapse of distal alveoli, and to promote recruitment of ...
