Useful for assessing the risk of barotrauma and hemodynamic impact. Transpulmonary Pressure ( PLcap P sub cap L ): Calculated as , this is the actual stress applied to the lung tissue.
Palv=Pst+Pplcap P sub a l v end-sub equals cap P sub s t end-sub plus cap P sub p l end-sub Pressure-Volume (PV) Loop Shapes Shapes.PalV.3.var
Indicates lung overdistension , where increasing pressure results in little additional volume gain, signaling a need to reduce tidal volume. Useful for assessing the risk of barotrauma and
