Transpulmonary pressure (PL) is generated differently in passive mechanical ventilation (upper panel) and assisted mechanical ventilation (lower panel). During passive ventilation, the pleural pressure swing is positive and transpulmonary pressure is therefore lower than airway pressure (Paw). During assisted ventilation a vigorous inspiratory effort generates a negative swing in pleural pressure resulting in an additive increase in transpulmonary pressure; transpulmonary pressure may therefore be much higher than airway pressure. Pes esophageal pressure

Mechanisms of lung-diaphragm injury in spontaneous breathing patients under assisted mechanical ventilation. Note that some of these mechanisms also apply under controlled mechanical ventilation (e.g., reverse triggering). PEEP positive end-expiratory pressure

Computing inspiratory muscle pressure (Pmus) from the esophageal pressure (Pes) swing. Pmus derives from the difference between Pes and the added muscle pressure generated to overcome the chest wall elastic recoil (Pcw). Pcw represents the elastic recoil of relaxed chest wall; it can be computed as the product of tidal volume and chest wall elastance (Ecw). The Pmus area over time constitutes the pressure-time product (PTP) (yellow and blue area together)

Measuring plateau pressure (Pplat) during assisted mechanical ventilation (AMV). A brief inspiratory hold permits a reliable measure of Pplat in AMV, provided the patient relaxes with no immediate expiratory efforts. The difference between Pplat and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) results in the driving pressure ΔPaw. In panel (a), the patient’s inspiratory effort is vigorous (greater esophageal swing): during inspiratory hold, the airflow stops and Pplat rises above Ppeak; the previous activated respiratory muscles relaxes and expires, causing Paw to increase. In panel (b), the patient’s inspiratory effort is low: the difference between Ppeak and Pplat is minimal, indicating minimal respiratory muscle effort during the current breath. This technique enables respiratory muscle activity to be assessed by measuring Pplat. (Modified from [29] with permission)

Airway occlusion pressure (P0.1) is the airway pressure (Paw) generated in the first 100 ms of inspiration against an expiratory occlusion. Importantly, the 100 ms time for P0.1 calculation should start at the point where the expiratory flow trace reaches zero (dashed line) to correct for potential intrinsic positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP).
