Abstract
Intensive care monitoring and therapy is nowadays usually associated with measurement, control and monitoring techniques using complex medical equipment. Fundamental knowledge of the measurement units, measurement techniques and their physiological relationships forms the basis for a correct interpretation of the biological signal. Therefore, the basics of the physics of pressure in fluids and gases are pointed out, and examples of application are given.
