Many studies have investigated the protective role of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on ventilator-induced lung injury. Most assessed lung injury in protocols involving different ventilation strategies applied for the same length of time. This study, however, set out to investigate the protective role of PEEP with respect to the time needed to reach similar levels of lung injury.
