What causes high peak airway pressures?

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.
