• PEAK Breathing Pressure— The highest instantaneous pressure
value for each breath
• MEAN Breathing Pressure— The average of all the instantaneous
pressure values recorded during each breath
• PEEP (Positive End Expiratory Pressure)— The breathing
pressure at the end of exhalation
During apneic conditions, the pressure monitor displays numeric
information as long as it detects a peak pressure at least 10 cm H

greater than PEEP pressure. When this pressure difference drops below
10 cm H
2
O, the numeric information remains 1 minute longer and then
disappears.
