Shear stress depends on the driving pressure, independent of the plateau pressure or PEEP
Time course of airway pressure and its related shear stresses during mechanical ventilation in baseline condition (A), matched PEEP (B), matched driving pressure (C), and matched plateau pressure (D). Note that a higher airway shear stress is observed in the conditions with higher driving pressure, independent of concomitant variations in PEEP and plateau pressure. PEEP=positive end expiratory pressure. ΔP=driving pressure.
