A patient-ventilator system check reveals the following information: peak inspiratory pressure (PIP)32 cm H₂O,positive-end-expiratory pressure (PEEP)12 cm H₂O,plateau pressure (P_plateau)20 cm H₂O,inspiratory time (T_I)1 second,set frequency 12/minute.Calculate the mean airway pressure.

Total cycle time (TCT)= 60/frequency = 60/12 = 5.{P-macron}aw = 11ea68f7_d699_b65e_b0a4_f334a7750735_TB1877_11 [(PIP - PEEP)X (T_I/ TCT)] + PEEP = 11ea68f7_d699_dd6f_b0a4_d1c0d22bbb87_TB1877_11 [(32 - 12)X (1/5)] + 12 = 11ea68f7_d699_dd70_b0a4_75168ad3c025_TB1877_11 [20 X 0.2] + 12 = 14 cm H₂O.
