A non-invasive diagnostic tool for the assessment of optimal positive-end expiratory pressure (PEEPOPT) in infants receiving prolonged invasive ventilation
Assessment of PEEP<sub>OPT</sub> using our standardized protocol is feasible, non-invasive, and provides a low-cost bedside tool. PEEP<sub>OPT</sub> differed from PEEP<sub>SET</sub> in most subjects, highlighting the importance of evaluating PEEP<sub>OPT</sub>.
