PEEP

Posted by Amy in , on October 14, 2010

I'm about to sit for my last respiratory exam and, while reviewing the test material, I was reminded of a neat video one of our CRNA instructors presented to us during class a few weeks ago.  He was covering content related to ventilators and ventilator modes and used the following to illustrate the effectiveness of CPAP and PEEP at reducing atelectasis and maintaining alveolar ventilation.  Pretty cool!


Now go forth, and dial in some PEEP!
