How changes in Peep affect AIRWAY PRESSURES AND VOLUMES Mariela Fernandez Joseph D. Lowery Jesse Sparks Edited by Elizabeth Kelley Buzbee AAS, RRT-NPS, RCP
Quick Overview • One Ventilator • Two Test Lungs
Hypothesis Peep and airway pressure have a direct relationship whereas Peep and volume have an inverse relationship.
Test Lung 1 • Compliance set at 50 ml/cmH2O • Resistance set at 10 • Small capacity could not accommodate ventilator settings.
Test Lung 2AKA Blue Betty • Compliance 40 cmH2O • Resistance was set to 1 • (standard resistance for an ETT )
Conclusion • In pressure control as PEEP is increased pressure goes up and volume goes down. • In volume control as PEEP is increased pressure goes up. ~ PEEP will always increase pressure ~
