Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Situations in which the lung-distending pressure (i.e.,transpulmonary pressure,or Pᴀ - Pₚ₁)is abnormally high can cause lung injury.PA can be high by itself without causing lung damage,but if Pᴀ - Pₚ₁ is high,lung damage is more likely.The highest transpulmonary pressure is 19 cm H₂O,when the Pᴀ = 29 cm H₂O and the Pₚ₁ = 10 cm H₂O.
