Figure 031_7351. Relationship between time and gas flow, lung volume, and airway pressure during volume-limited ventilation with an inspiratory pause ( A ) and pressure-limited ventilation without an inspiratory pause ( B ). Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) used (airway pressure >0). Inspiratory pause pressure referred to as plateau pressure. - McMaster Textbook of Internal Medicine
