Regardless of the procedure used to establish an appropriate PEEP level,ventilating pressures should not be allowed to exceed the UIP on the UIPi,because injury to lungs can occur if the lungs become overstretched.The appearance of the UIP on the graphic display may be influenced by the type of recruitment procedure used.For example,in one study,when the Vᴛ was set low (5-6 mL/kg),the UIP was 26 cm H₂O.
