The effect of positive end-expiratory pressure on cardiac output and oxygen delivery during cardiopulmonary resuscitation

Abstract Background Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is used to optimize oxygenation by preventing alveolar collapse. However, PEEP can potentially decrease cardiac output through cardiopulmonary interactions. The effect of PEEP on cardiac output during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is...
