Fig. 1 (abstract P358).From: 39th International Symposium on Intensive Care and Emergency MedicineFlow (V´), airway pressure (Paw) and esophageal pressure (Pes) recordings during an occluded breath (V´ is 0) in a patient ventilated with proportional assist ventilation. At endinspiration and endexpiration, respiratory driving pressure (ΔPRS) and transpulmonary driving pressure (ΔPL) were calculated as follows: ΔPRS = endinspiratory Paw - endexpiratory Paw. ΔPL = (endinspiratory Paw-endinspiratory Pes) - (endexpiratory Paw - endexpiratory Pes)Back to article page
