   depends on the disease process of the lung you are trying to recruit. but there is not a set number, say 15cmH20, that is the optimal PEEP. For each disease process is different thus there V/Q ratio or mismatch is going to vary.

   you start of with a PEEP of 5cmH2o

   What lung species were used for this demonstration? And, is 15cmH2o the typical threshold of pressure to reach lung recruitment for a human lungs for optimal V/Q ratio?

    This 1 min post displays perhaps 2, maybe more, chapters on the effects of positive presure and PEEP on the pulmonary system not to mention the hours of study trying to conceptualize the whole process. I wish I had this to see a few years ago. It would have saved a lot of headachs. Great post

    good vid, thanks. explains well why peep helps to recruit alveoli and “pop open” more of the functional chambers of the lungs for more efficient ventilation.

    Good way to give concepts of PEEP.

    I showed this to my respiratory instructor and peers. We love it.

    what a great image for all RTs to have when setting up a vent and PEEP.

    This is why you start to see Rabbits smoking outside of their boroughs nowadays

    Excellent…for all respiratory therapists and students

    as an rrt, it was fascinating to see the effects of different levels of peep on these lungs.
