Despite the risk,it is still important to use PEEP,because it can prevent alveolar collapse during exhalation and reopening,even when a low VT is used.It now is theorized that it is important to use the pressure-volume loop to set PEEP _____________________.
A) at the upper inflection point detected during inflation of the lung
B) above the upper inflection point detected during deflation of the lung
C) at the lower inflection point detected during inflation of the lung
