Does a Starting Positive End-Expiratory Pressure of 8 cmH2O Decrease the Probability of a Ventilator-Associated Event?

Does a Starting Positive End-Expiratory Pressure of 8 cmH2O Decrease the Probability of a Ventilator-Associated Event?

Introduction: Ventilator-associated events (VAEs) are objective measures as defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). To reduce VAEs, some hospitals have started patients on higher baseline positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) to avoid triggering VAE criteria due to respira...
