What role does positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) play?

Positive End-Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) is used to keep the alveoli open at the end of expiration, improving oxygenation and preventing atelectasis. Typical PEEP settings for pediatric patients range from 4-6 cm H2O, but may be adjusted based on the patient’s oxygenation status and underlying lung condition.
