RationaleCardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) aims to provide oxygen to vital organs through chest compressions and ventilations, until return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) is achieved. A major barrier to effective oxygenation during CPR is atelectasis, which impairs gas exchange and results in hypoxemia--a condition strongly associated with decreased rates of ROSC and worsened neurological outcomes. Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is routinely used in critical care to prevent atelec...
