    Positive and expiratory pressure (PEEP) improves chest radiographs in acute respiratory failure by increasing lung volume. However, PEEP can cause complications like pneumothorax, necessitating careful monitoring during mechanical ventilation.

    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonary Medicine
    • Radiology
    • Critical Care

    Background:

    • Positive and expiratory pressure (PEEP) is a cornerstone therapy for acute respiratory failure.
    • Its application aims to improve oxygenation and lung mechanics.

    Observation:

    • Chest radiographs show significant changes with PEEP initiation, correlating with pressure levels.
    • Radiographic deterioration can occur during weaning from mechanical ventilation despite clinical improvements.

    Findings:

    • PEEP enhances functional residual capacity, reduces intrapulmonary shunting, and improves arterial oxygenation.
    • Radiographic changes reflect improved diffuse atelectasis and fluid shifts from alveoli.
    • Pulmonary barotrauma, including pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum, is a notable complication.

    Implications:

    • Radiographic findings correlate with PEEP's physiological effects on lung function.
    • Understanding these changes is crucial for managing patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome.
    • Monitoring for barotrauma is essential to prevent complications during PEEP therapy.
