Positive expiratory pressure improves oxygenation in healthy subjects exposed to hypoxia.

Positive expiratory pressure improves oxygenation in healthy subjects exposed to hypoxia.

Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is commonly used in critical care medicine to improve gas exchange. Altitude sickness is associated with exaggerated reduction in arterial oxygenation. We assessed the effect of PEEP and pursed lips breathing (PLB) on arterial and tissue oxygenation under norm...
