Plateau pressure is the pressure in the lungs when no air is flowing, measured during a pause in mechanical ventilation. It reflects the distending pressure applied to the alveoli and is important in preventing lung injury during mechanical ventilation. High plateau pressure can indicate overdistention of the lungs and can lead to ventilator-induced lung injury.
