Driving Pressure + static/dynamic compliance
Ventilator driving pressure dP = plateau - PEEP, plus static compliance; dP >15 cmH2O flags elevated risk.

Example
- Plateau pressure
- 25 cmH2O
- PEEP
- 10 cmH2O
- Tidal volume
- 400 mL
Result: Driving pressure 15 cmH2O (within target); static compliance 26.7 mL/cmH2O.
The tool opens with these values already filled in. Replace them with your own.

How this is calculated
Amato MBP, et al. NEJM. 2015;372(8):747-755 (driving pressure and ARDS survival). dP = plateau - PEEP; static compliance = Vt / dP. Read the source ↗
