Transpulmonary pressure is the difference between the alveolar pressure and the intrapleural pressure in the pleural cavity. During human ventilation, air flows because of pressure gradients.
Ptp = Palv – Pip
Where Ptp is transpulmonary pressure, Palv is alveolar pressure, and Pip is intrapleural pressure.
