Flow, esophageal pressure, airway pressure, and transpulmonary pressure can be used to calculate respiratory system compliance, chest-wall compliance, lung compliance, inspiratory airway resistance, and expiratory airway resistance. Flow, esophageal pressure, airway pressure, and transpulmonary pressure can be used to calculate respiratory system compliance, chest-wall compliance, lung compliance, inspiratory airway resistance, and expiratory airway resistance. See text for details. PIP = peak inspiratory pressure; Pplat = plateau pressure. Dean R Hess Respir Care 2014;59:1773-1794 (c) 2012 by Daedalus Enterprises, Inc.
