PEEP-Alert: Developing a Monitor for Positive Pressure Respiration Support
This talk describes the creation of a flow and pressure monitor to improve safety of positive-pressure respiration support. Reduced rates of intubation can be achieved with greater than 5 Positive End-Expiratory Pressure (PEEP). More than 30 PEEP will irreparably damage lungs. Helmet-based noninvasive ventilation has been shown to improve outcomes significantly over cannula, mask therapies,...
