What effect does adding a PEEP valve to the ventilation circuit (distal or proximal) have on the ResQPOD Circulatory Enhancer?
PEEP is compatible with the ResQPOD. If it is used, it should be placed between the ResQPOD and the ventilation source, not between the ResQPOD and the airway. One animal study has shown that low levels of PEEP may improve the efficiency of CPR with the ResQPOD 11 , but there are no human studies evaluating both the ResQPOD and PEEP to date.
