Pressure support is a pressure-targeted mode of ventilatory support. Each inspiratory effort by the patient is augmented by an elevation in the airway pressure at the onset of an inspiratory effort.
Pressure is the amount of force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area. The symbol for it is p or P. The IUPAC recommendation for pressure is a lower-case p. However, upper-case P is widely used.
