ALARM LIMIT
The PEEP pressure is the pressure at the end of exhalation.
The mean pressure represents the average of all the instantaneous
pressure values recorded during each breath.
The peak pressure is the highest instantaneous pressure value for
each breath.
To the right of the peak variable, in small type, are two alarm limits.
The upper number is the pressure high alarm limit; the lower
number is the threshold pressure alarm limit.
