Peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) is the highest level of pressure applied to the lungs during inhalation[1]. In mechanical ventilation the number reflects a positive pressure in centimeters of water pressure (cmH2O). In normal breathing, it may sometimes be referred to as the maximal inspiratory pressure (MIPO), which is a negative value[2].
