Physiological Study of High PEEP in Noninvasive Ventilation
Sponsor: Chongqing Medical University
Summary
To investigate the physiological effects of high positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) during noninvasive ventilation in patients with hypoxemic respiratory failure, and to elucidate the mechanisms underlying high PEEP-induced improvement in oxygenation.

high PEEP
First, PEEP was set at 5 cmH₂O, and inspiratory pressure was adjusted to achieve a target tidal volume of 6-8 mL/kg. Fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO₂) was titrated to maintain peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO₂) between 88% and 92%. Subsequently, PEEP was increased in 5 cmH₂O increments every 10-20 minutes from the initial value of 5 cmH₂O. Once PEEP reached 20 cmH₂O or above, increments were made every 3-5 minutes until the recruitment level was achieved (i.e., PEEP was increased stepwise from 5 to 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 cmH₂O). Inspiratory pressure was adjusted concurrently to maintain a constant pressure difference. Throughout the procedure, physiological parameters-including respiratory rate, oxygenation, work of breathing, and others-were collected.
