This tool will help you calculate the physiologically appropriate levels of muscle effort (Pmus, Peak).

  1. Find Delta Paw by entering the PPeak and PEEP values in the calculator.
  2. The range of bolded Pmus, Peak values corresponds to the range of % support values that provide the physiologically appropriate levels of muscle effort (Pmus, Peak).

This calculator is not a substitute for the exercise of professional judgment and is not intended to replace the Operator's Manual, which should always be available while using the ventilator.
