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.
In physics, pressure is defined as the force over a given area. Given the same force, the smaller the area of contact, the more pressure is applied. The formula used to describe and calculate pressure is: Pressure = Force Ã· Area.
