Plateau pressure (P_plateau)is measured during which phase of the ventilatory cycle?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The calculation of compliance requires the measurement of the plateau pressure.This pressure measurement is made during no-flow conditions.The airway pressure (P_aw)is measured at end-inspiration.The inspiratory pressure is taken when the pressure reaches its maximum during a delivered mechanical breath.The pressure that occurs during expiration is a dynamic measurement and drops during expiration.The pressure reading at end-expiration is the baseline pressure;this reading is either at zero (atmospheric pressure)or at above atmospheric pressure (PEEP).
