What is the difference between PEEP and CPAP? --84.56.237.2 (talk) 08:12, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * When applied to a spontaneously and independently breathing person it is termed CPAP. When that pressure is superimposed on a ventilation program it is termed PEEP. C. L. Crosby (talk) 16:07, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
 * That's not entirely true. PEEP is a term used to denote purposefully applied restrictive breathing for COPD patients.Sween64 (talk) 03:47, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
 * CPAP is Continuous Positive Airway Pressure, PEEP is Positive End Expiratory Pressure. PEEP is applied upon exhalation and CPAP is applied all the time.  Pressure Support is applied during inhalation, so PEEP + PS would be CPAP, Bilevel Positive Pressure is (BiPAP is a brand name but people call it that all the time) is the separation of PEEP and PS for use usually in non-invasive ventilation.

Merge
Should this page be merged with Modes of mechanical ventilation? its really lacking and could be eaten by the comprehensive article Je.rrt (talk) 01:52, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I have decided to start working on this article, but it may still need to be merged in the future. Je.rrt (talk) 20:44, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
 * yes should merged with mechanical ventilation Hawree dalzar (talk) 21:11, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
