What is the significance of peak inspiratory pressure (PIP)?

Peak Inspiratory Pressure (PIP) is the maximum pressure applied during inspiration. It is crucial to monitor PIP to prevent barotrauma (lung injury due to high pressures). For pediatric patients, PIP is generally maintained below 25 cm H2O, but this may vary based on the patient’s lung compliance and disease state.
