Answer #1

Inspiratory hold is a ventilating maneuver in which the desired volume of gas inspired is held in lung for a while before expiration.

Inspiratory hold also known as Inspiratory pause allows measuring the plateau pressure and static compliance

Static compliance = volume ÷ pressure ( its the compliance of the system at a given volume when there is no flow of air)

Plateau pressure = relation between volume and compliance ( pressure applied by mechanical ventilator to the small airways and alveoli)
