    P low — Pressure that P high drops to during expiratory time (T low) PEEP — Positive end-expiratory pressure, pressure created by a backpressure valve. C PAP — Continuous positive airway pressure; Δ p — Delta-P, the change in pressure from the highest pressure to the lowest pressure. PS- Pressure Support

  3. Positive end-expiratory pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_end-expiratory...

    Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is the pressure in the lungs (alveolar pressure) above atmospheric pressure (the pressure outside of the body) that exists at the end of expiration. [1] The two types of PEEP are extrinsic PEEP (PEEP applied by a ventilator) and intrinsic PEEP (PEEP caused by an incomplete exhalation).

  4. Pressure support ventilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_support

    The patient initiates every breath and the ventilator delivers support with the preset pressure value. With support from the ventilator, the patient also regulates their own respiratory rate and tidal volume. [1] In Pressure Support, the set inspiratory pressure support level is kept constant and there is a decelerating flow. The patient ...

  5. Orifice plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orifice_plate

    Orifice plate showing vena contracta. An orifice plate is a thin plate with a hole in it, which is usually placed in a pipe. When a fluid (whether liquid or gaseous) passes through the orifice, its pressure builds up slightly upstream of the orifice [1] but as the fluid is forced to converge to pass through the hole, the velocity increases and the fluid pressure decreases.

  6. Butterworth cover - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterworth_Cover

    Holes on the edges of the plate fit over these bolts and the cover is fastened down with nuts or dogs. Vapor accidents can occur when pressure builds up in the tank below and the Butterworth cover is carelessly removed. [5] Butterworth hatches have been responsible for a number of marine losses. [6]

  7. Modes of mechanical ventilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modes_of_mechanical...

    The patient triggers all breaths. If there is a change in the mechanical properties of the lung/thorax and patient effort, the delivered tidal volume will be affected. The user must then regulate the pressure support level to obtain desired ventilation. [17] [18] Pressure support improves oxygenation, [19] ventilation and decreases work of ...

  8. Plateau pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plateau_pressure

    Plateau pressure (P PLAT) is the pressure applied to small airways and alveoli during positive-pressure mechanical ventilation. [1] It is measured during an inspiratory pause on the mechanical ventilator. [2] In ARDS maintain plateau pressure <30cm of water measured on ventilator.

    Holes are drilled in the top of the blower ring, and when steam is fed into the ring, the steam jets out of the holes and up the chimney, stimulating draught, [1] much like a blastpipe. Boiler A pressure vessel for the creation of hot water or steam, for residential or commercial use. Boilersmith
