In such patients, much of the pressure that is applied by the ventilator will be used to distend the chest wall rather than the lung. As such, the plateau pressure may be high, but so will the ...

The response to low-tidal-volume ventilation should be assessed initially on the basis of plateau airway pressure. The goal should be to maintain a plateau airway pressure (i.e., the pressure ...

In severe cases, COVID-19 can lead to pneumonia requiring mechanical ventilation, but the world’s supply ... advanced features such as single-button measurement of the plateau pressure, the pressure ...

Underestimating stress and delivering too high of a tidal volume may enhance the risk of ventilator-induced lung injury. To determine whether measurement of plateau pressure is an accurate ...

Other modes of ventilation, such as pressure-regulated ... which relate most closely to plateau pressure. Plateau pressures greater than 35 cm H 2 O likely will lead to barotrauma.

Controlled ventilation is the preferred way to ventilate ... by the volume at end inspiration (Vei), auto-PEEP, and plateau pressure (P plat). Vei is a measure of expired gas from end inspiration ...
