Basic Physics of Mechanical Ventilation
Peak pressure Plateau pressure Resisitive pressure; “Ohmic Resistance” Elastic pressure As soon as the flow stops, airway resistance falls and the pressure – formerly required to push air through the airway- drops to a plateau. Difference between this plateau and the peak pressure therefore must be the

www.gla.ac.ukPeak expiratory flow is a simple and easy, yet essential diagnostic tool used to assess asthma severity. Peak flow is also an important measure of the effectiveness of treatment with bronchodilator therapy. Peak flow meters (EU/EN ISO standard) are handheld devices used to measure PEFR in the ambulatory setting. ...
