   Etymology: This word has no etymology, except that of Stephen Skinner, who derives it from ophessen, Dutch, to lift up; and of Meric Casaubon, who derives it from ὀπιπευτὴϱ, a spy; perhaps it may come from pip, pipio, Latin, to cry as young birds: when the chickens first broke the shell and cried, they were said to begin to pip or peep; and the word that expressed the act of crying, was by mistake applied to the act of appearing that was at the same time:

1. Peep

   Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is the pressure in the lungs (alveolar pressure) above atmospheric pressure (the pressure outside of the body) that exists at the end of expiration. The two types of PEEP are extrinsic PEEP (PEEP applied by a ventilator) and intrinsic PEEP (PEEP caused by an incomplete exhalation). Pressure that is applied or increased during an inspiration is termed pressure support.
