- 5. the highest level of pressure applied to the lungs during inhalation
- 8. Volume of air moved in and outside the lungs in each respiratory cycle
- 9. influenced by the fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO 2%) or the positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP)
- 11. Respiratory Rate x Tidal Volume
Down
- 1. the pressure that the ventilator adds to a breath to make it easier for the patient to achieve a good tidal volume
- 3. Change in volume divided by change in pressure
- 6. Breaths per minute
- 7. Speed in liters per minute at which the ventilator delivers breaths
- 10. The positive pressure in the airways at the end of exhalation
- 12. the duration of the inhale
