Connors, MD, PhD 1 PLATEAU pressure Michael Kissel, MD The plateau pressure (PP) is the pressure applied to small airways and alveoli. It is measured during an inspiratory pause on the ventilator. The goal plateau pressure is <30 cm H2O to prevent volutrauma; that is lung injury secondary to overdistension of alveoli. Without lung disease, peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) is only slightly above the plateau pressure . In cases of increased tidal volume or decreased pulmonary compliance, the PIP and plateau pressure rise together proportionately.
