The equation is defined as: Jv = LpS [(Pc – Pi) – (πc – πi)], where Jv is the filtration rate, Lp is the conductivity of the capillary membrane, S is the surface area, Pc is the capillary hydrostatic pressure, Pi is the interstitial hydrostatic pressure, πc is the capillary plasma oncotic pressure, and πi is the interstitial plasma oncotic pressure [4]. Because NIV-CPAP increases the pressure in the alveoli and some of this pressure is transferred to the interstitium of the alveoli, the pressure gradient favoring the movement of fluid from the capillaries to the interstitium is reduced, thus reducing the filtration rate.
