Abstract
During ventilation through small endotracheal tubes, PEEPi (mostly due to dynamic hyperinflation) is common. Hemodynamic complications, barotrauma, and O2 desaturation (reversible with PEEPe) are rare. Pawplateau provided by ventilators is useful in suspecting and monitoring the occurrence of PEEPi and allows detection of lung overdistension as PEEPe is applied.
