Core Tip Increasing positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) in titrated doses is a recruitment strategy aimed at improving oxygenation. The effectiveness of PEEP can vary across different lung pathologies and may not always correlate with changes in lung aeration as assessed by lung ultrasound scores (LUSs). In this study, the effect of incremental PEEP levels (5 cm H₂O intervals) was evaluated in mechanically ventilated patients with various lung pathologies. Significant improvement in LUS in the posteroinferior zone was observed, along with a simultaneous increase in oxygen saturation. Minimal PEEP was sufficient for lung recruitment in postoperative patients, whereas patients with alveolar filling defects and restrictive lung diseases required higher PEEP levels.
