Inadvertent positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is a potential cause of lung overdistension and impaired gas exchange in ventilated infants. It can be extremely difficult to diagnose clinically and if unrecognized can be life-threatening. Measurement of lung function can lead to the recognition of inadvertent PEEP, allowing appropriate ventilator adjustment with immediate substantial improvement in clinical state. Lung function measurements can help to optimize ventilation and may improve clinical outcome.
无意中产生的呼气末正压（PEEP）是导致通气婴儿肺过度扩张和气体交换受损的一个潜在原因。临床上极难诊断，若未被识别则可能危及生命。肺功能测量有助于识别无意中产生的PEEP，从而对呼吸机进行适当调整，使临床状况立即得到显著改善。肺功能测量有助于优化通气，并可能改善临床结局。
