Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)-- A ventilation device that blows a gentle stream of air into the nose during sleep to keep the airway open.

Force (lbs) = Pressure (psi) x Area (in2)Pressure=Force/Area
If you mean "guage pressure," it is the pressure of a fluid minus the atmospheric pressure.

CPAP-Continuous Positive Airway Pressure, SiPAP-Synchronized inspiratory Positive Airway Pressure
CPAP devices are masks that fit over the nose during sleep and deliver air into the airway under enough pressure to keep the airway open.

Airway pressure
120/80
[Systolic Blood Pressure+(2 x Diastolic Blood Pressure)]/3
The maximum pressure exerted against the patients airway during the breath
Common uses of continuous positive airway pressure include sleep apnea, respiratory distress syndrome in infants, and adult respiratory distress syndrome.

If Peak Inspiratory Pressure or Peak Airway Pressure is reached too soon, this could be caused by airway obstruction, kinking of the ET tube, bronchospasm, low lung compliance or the pressure is set too low. ET tube cuff leak or ventilator circuit leak could be a cause if unable to reach PIP.
