Peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) is the highest level of pressure applied to the lungs during inhalation. In mechanical ventilation the number reflects a positive pressure in centimeters of water pressure (cmH2O).
What is a normal peak inspiratory pressure?
Peak inspiratory pressure is typically 12 mm Hg. It is best if ventilation is adjusted according to the arterial or end-tidal carbon dioxide tensions.
What do peak pressures mean?
Peak pressure: This is the pressure that is generated by the ventilator to overcome BOTH airway resistance AND alveolar resistance. Plateau pressure: This is the pressure that is essentially left over in the lung after the tidal volume has been delivered.
