to exhalation.
Elast. See Elastance.
Elastance The elastic opposition to ventilation or the tendency of the lungs to
resist inflation (elastance is the reciprocal of compliance).
EPAP Expiratory positive airway pressure. A control setting. The application and
maintenance of pressure above atmospheric at the airway throughout the
exhalation phase of positive-pressure mechanical ventilation.
Estimated exhaled tidal volume See V
Estimated minute ventilation See
Estimated patient leak See Pt. Leak
Estimated total leak See Tot.Leak.
ET Endotracheal.
Exhalation Port test Performed to assess the leak flow rate through the
exhalation port.
