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 (symbol: p or P) is the force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area over which that force is distributed. Gauge pressure (also spelled gage pressure) is the pressure relative to the local atmospheric or ambient pressure. Various units are used to express pressure.
