The ten pressures of the respiratory system during assisted breathing

Authors: T. Mauri, C. Guérin, R. Hubmayr

Excerpt

The mechanics of breathing are defined by the pressures which act on different parts of the respiratory system. Since, among them, only airway opening pressure (Pao) is typically monitored during assisted mechanical ventilation, their interplay and interpretation may confound clinicians. The aim of this paper is to review ten pressures during assisted breathing, focusing on pressure support ventilation (Fig. 1 ESM) in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). In addition to Pao, we identified the pressures reported in Table 1 ESM as the most relevant. …
