Clinical Guidance

BMI is a screening measure of body size, not a direct measure of body fat. The standard WHO categories are underweight (<18.5), normal (18.5–24.9), overweight (25–29.9), and obese (≥30).

BMI can overestimate body fat in athletes with high muscle mass and underestimate it in older adults with low muscle mass. Interpret it alongside waist circumference and clinical context rather than as a standalone diagnosis.

How It Works

Calculate optimal PEEP for open lung strategy balancing recruitment vs overdistension using driving pressure and compliance

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Driving pressure — The driving pressure recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Compliance — The compliance recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the open lung peep result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the driving pressure, compliance for the scenario you are assessing. Calculate optimal PEEP for open lung strategy balancing recruitment vs overdistension using driving pressure and compliance. Use the open lung peep result to inform your calculation.
