effect will PEEP have on lung volumes? - proteus

I think C
PEEP prevents alveoli from collapsing. patent alveeli retains some air increasing residual volume.
I might be wrong.

this is EE yes--PEEP is a form of MF to increase FRC not RV.

Choice (E) is the correct answer. Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) acts to stent alveoli open at the end of expiration. PEEP helps to increase oxygenation. In terms of lung volumes, PEEP slightly increases the functional residual capacity, which is the volume contained in the lungs at end of expiration. The other choices are incorrect
