View Ardsnet Peep Table Gallery. Ardsnet, ph and eit guided peep. One instead looks up a table of seemingly arbitrary peep values.
Can aid in oxygenation but excess peep also leads to overdistension of some lung regions and likely volutrauma. The patients were randomly divided into two groups: The ardsnet term when used is what most people refer to the protocol of lung protective strategy with the ardsnet peep/fio2 table.
If no improvement is achieved, than peep should be increased 2 to 5 cmh2o each step up to 34.
If using optimal peep methods above then adjust fi02 after determining an optimal peep. Ardsnet = acute respiratory distress syndrome network; Escalation of peep depending on fio2 (ardsnet protocol). We will perform a lung recruitment maneuver (lrm).
