PEEP stands for positive end-expiratory pressure and is used in mechanical ventilation to help keep the airways open and improve oxygenation in patients with lung diseases such as ARDS or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It prevents the alveoli from collapsing at the end of each breath, increasing functional residual capacity and improving gas exchange.
