PEEP The difference between the corresponding airway
and esophageal pressures at the end of the
expiratory hold during an AutoPEEP maneuver.
Requires an inspiratory hold
and esophageal
catheter.

WOB
V
The summation of airway pressure (P
AW
) minus the
baseline airway pressure (PEEP
AW
) times the
change in tidal volume to the patient (∆V) during
inspiration, and normalized to the total inspiratory
tidal volume (V
ti
).

WOB
P
Patient Work of Breathing (WOB
P
), normalized to
the total inspiratory tidal volume. Patient work of
breathing is defined as the summation of two work
components: work of the lung and work of the chest
wall. Requires an esophageal balloon.

WOB
I
The work performed by the patient to breathe
spontaneously through the breathing apparatus, i.e.
the E.T. tube, the breathing circuit, and the demand
flow system. Requires a tracheal catheter.
