An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : dbkwik.org associated with source dataset(s)

A PEEP Valve, or Positive end-expiratory pressure valve is a device used for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure(CPAP), Biphasic Positive Airway Pressure (also called Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure) or an intubated patient. On an intubated patient the PEEP valve can be a part of a Bag valve mask assembly or may be attached to the patient circuit on a mechanical ventilator.

  • A PEEP Valve, or Positive end-expiratory pressure valve is a device used for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure(CPAP), Biphasic Positive Airway Pressure (also called Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure) or an intubated patient. On an intubated patient the PEEP valve can be a part of a Bag valve mask assembly or may be attached to the patient circuit on a mechanical ventilator. A PEEP valve administers positive end expiratory pressure to the airway. In essence, constantly maintaining a pressure on the lower airways at the end of the breathing cycle. This prevents the alveoli from collapsing during expiration.
