Viscoelastic nature of the lung causing ‘stress relaxation’ĭue to the special clinical importance of Paw after a short inspiratory pause, it is sometimes given a special designation in literature: Pz (pressure at zero flow) or P 1 – to contrast it with the traditional measure of Pplat after a long pause. Redistribution of air between lung units (pendelluft). Practically speaking, perhaps the most common reason is the presence of micro leaks (e.g. This occurs due to the following reasons: A longer inspiratory pause will cause a gradual decline in the measured Paw. To maximize the clinical relevance of the measured Pplat, the duration of post inspiratory pause should be short (<=0.5 seconds). Accurate estimation of autoPEEP requires a dedicated, long expiratory pause (longer the better but at least 2-3 seconds). It is important to note that it’s the total PEEP (set PEEP + auto-PEEP, if any) that should be used for this calculation.
Elastance of the respiratory system (E RS ) is calculated as follows:
