Brief Review | In search of the Holy Grail: identifying the best PEEP in ventilated patients.
9 May, 2022 | 01:50h | UTC
Commentary on Twitter
Best PEEP on MV?? Individual-specific providing oxygenation (SpO2 >90%/no excessive FiO2 + acceptable PaCO2 (<50/55 mmHg) & minimal need for fluids/cardioactives. Start at 10-12 but stay alert to hemodynamic impact & as set, serially asses need/adequacy.
