In this lecture i will discuss key concepts of Positive End-Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) in mechanical ventilation, the phenomenon of AutoPEEP, and managing these conditions.
The lecture begins with an introduction to PEEP, its importance in maintaining alveolar recruitment, and its role in improving oxygenation. We then explore AutoPEEP - an often under-recognized condition that can significantly impact a patient's respiratory status.
We will discuss how it occurs, its potential effects, and how to identify it on the ventilator waveform.
Finally, we'll dive into the management strategies for PEEP and AutoPEEP to optimize patient outcomes.

Today, we're taking a closer look at the Flow Time Curve, specifically, the abnormalities. We'll discuss compliance and resistance - the two main characters in the story of respiratory problems. And we'll see how they change the plot of our Flow Time Curve.
Understanding these changes is like cracking a secret code. So, let's get started and learn something that not many doctors know.
