AB  - Pressure  and  flow  waveforms  reveal  a  wealth  of  information  regarding  the  patient's  physiologic  derangement.Distinguishing  the  contributions  of  resistive  and  elastic  pressures  allows  tailoring  and  monitoring  of  therapy.Auto-PEEP  should  be  sought  in  all  mechanically  ventilated  patients.Ventilator  waveforms  show  how  adequately  the  physician  has  accommodated  the  ventilator  to  the  patient.Patient  effort  confounds  interpretation  of  pressures  and  flows.Attention  to  ventilator  waveforms  can  improve  the  accuracy  of  hemodynamic  interpretation.
