| solution pressure | The force driving atoms or molecules to leave a solid particle and enter into solution (i.e., to dissolve). (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| sound pressure level | A measure of sound energy relative to 0.0002 dynes/cm2, expressed in decibels. (05 Mar 2000) |
| standard pressure | The absolute pressure to which gases are referred under standard conditions (STPD), i.e., 760 mm Hg, 760 torr, or 101,325 newtons/m2 (i.e., 101,325 Pa). (05 Mar 2000) |
| negative end-expiratory pressure | A subatmospheric pressure at the airway at the end of expiration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| negative pressure | Pressure less than that of the ambient atmosphere. (05 Mar 2000) |
| normal pressure hydrocephalus | <neurology> A brain disorder caused by blockage of the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), with enlargement of the ventricles of the brain (keep the pressure normal) and compression of brain tissue. Brain atrophy is the result. In this condition the CSF is produced normally but not reabsorbed. Symptom onset is gradual. A key feature is dementia. Treatment is surgical (VP shunt). (13 Nov 1997) |
| systolic pressure | <cardiology, physiology> The pressure exerted on the walls of the arteries during the contraction phase of the heart. Considered abnormally elevated if consistently over 150 mmHg. Systolic blood pressure varies with age, sex, size and relative condition. (27 Sep 1997) |
| detrusor pressure | That component of intravesical pressure created by the tension (active and passive) exerted by the bladder wall; the transmural pressure across the bladder wall estimated by subtracting abdominal pressure from intravesical pressure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| diastolic pressure | The intracardiac pressure during or resulting from diastolic relaxation of a cardiac chamber; the lowest arterial blood pressure reached during any given ventricular cycle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Donders' pressure | An increase of about 6 mm Hg shown by a manometer connected with the trachea when the thorax of the dead body is opened; it is caused by the collapse of the lungs when air is admitted to the thorax. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intermittent positive-pressure breathing | Application of positive pressure to the inspiratory phase of spontaneous respiration. See: controlled mechanical ventilation (12 Dec 1998) |
| intermittent positive-pressure ventilation | Application of positive pressure to the inspiratory phase when the patient has an artificial airway in place and is connected to a ventilator. See: controlled mechanical ventilation (12 Dec 1998) |
| intra-arterial pressure | The pressure of the blood within an artery, the arterial pressure. Also called the arterial tension. (12 Dec 1998) |
| intracardiac pressure curve | Curve of pressure recorded within the atrium or ventricle (intra-atrial and intraventricular pressure curve's). (05 Mar 2000) |
| intracranial pressure | <physiology> The pressure the cerebrospinal fluid exerts on the brain. (27 Sep 1997) |
