  2. PaCO2 Partial pressure of arterial CO2, PaO2 Partial pressure of arterial O2, Pplat Plateau pressure, VT Tidal volume, PEEP Positive end-expiratory pressure (extrinsic or total); Driving pressure: driving pressure = Pplat minus PEEP; PaO2/FiO2 ratio: arterial-to-inspiratory oxygen fraction; MAP Mean arterial pressure
