wikipedia (apologies): The atmosphere is composed of 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen. Since oxygen is exchanged at the alveoli-capillary membrane, nitrogen is a major component for the alveoli's state of inflation. If a large volume of nitrogen in the lungs is replaced with oxygen, the oxygen may subsequently be absorbed into the blood, reducing the volume of the alveoli, resulting in a form of alveolar collapse known as absorption atelectasis.
I chose cardiogenic edema, but I believe this is incorrect because there is no heart failure risk at this time, so the purpose of the PEEP is certainly not to push out fluid.
bronchus obstruction traps oxygen in alveoli no nitrogen able to enter (atmospheric air entering body (78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen, nitrogen is so important nitrogen bc it is a poorly absorbed gas and thus is in charged of keeping alveoli inflated) oxygen in the alveoli is absorbed into the blood reducing the volume of the alveoli alveolar collapse absorption atelectasis

Bruh let me tell you a lil secret
PEEP prevents Atelectasis AKA dat LUNG COLLAPSE
Dont be worryin about random words they puts in front of the HIGH YIELD ones
