Plateau Pressure is the pressure applied to the lungs at end inspiration, with no flow occuring(why we do the insp. hold). Peak Inspiratory Pressure includes pressure due to flow. Peak Inspiratory Pressure(PIP) is a combination of the driving pressure(flow) and plateau Pressure. Plateau pressure reading includes PEEP.
It is only an equilibrium if both liquid and vapour are present. The saturated vapour pressure of the liquid will force the mercury level down a bit. You can measure the drop-and this gives a value for the saturated vapour pressure of the liquid at this temperature. liquid boils when its saturated vapour pressure becomes equal to the external pressure on the liquid. When that happens, it enables bubbles of vapour to form throughout the liquid-those are the bubbles you see when a liquid boils.
