Positive End-Expiratory Pressure in Ventilated Non-Hypoxaemic Patients May Reduce Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia and Hypoxaemic Episodes

Abstract

Applying PEEP to ventilated non-hypoxaemic patients may reduce ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) and hypoxaemic episodes.

Level of evidence: 1⁻ (RCT with a high risk of bias)
