Setting PEEP in patients with COVID-19-related ARDS: a physiological comparison between methods
Targeting EIT<sub>CP</sub> results in slightly higher recommended PEEP and P<sub>L,EE</sub> levels compared to positive P<sub>L,EE</sub>, leading to less collapse, but not more overdistension. EIT-based methods protect better against high values of either overdistension or collapse.
