All of the following is true about positive-end expiratory pressure (PEEP) expect? Correct Answer It decreases mean airway pressure

Explanation: Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is the positive pressure that will remain in the airways at the end of the respiratory cycle (end of exhalation) that is greater than the atmospheric pressure in mechanically ventilated patients. PEEP is applied to recruit lung volumes, elevate mean airway pressure, and improve oxygenation.
