The plateau pressure is the pressure applied (in positive pressure ventilation) to the small airways and alveoli. It is believed that control of the plateau pressure is important, as excessive stretch of alveoli has been implicated as the cause of ventilator induced lung injury.
pressures above and below atmospheric pressure. A combination of a low pressure gauge ( low side gauge) and a high pressure gauge ( high side gauge) is often used in the ACR industry. The low side gauge or the one on the left reads pressures above and below atmospheric pressure and is called: a compound gauge. The high side gauge or the one on the right will read up to 500 psi.
