The pressure required to maintain alveolar inflation is known as which of the following?
A) Transairway pressure (Pᴛᴀ)
B) Transthoracic pressure (Pᴛᴛ)
C) Transrespiratory pressure ( Pᴛʀ)
D) Transpulmonary pressure (Pʟ)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The definition of transpulmonary pressure (Pʟ)is the pressure required to maintain alveolar inflation.Transairway pressure (Pᴛᴀ)is the pressure gradient required to produce airflow in the conducting tubes.Transrespiratory pressure ( Pᴛʀ)is the pressure to inflate the lungs and airways during positive-pressure ventilation.Transthoracic pressure (Pᴛᴛ)represents the pressure required to expand or contract the lungs and the chest wall at the same time.
