Mechanical power at a glance: a simple surrogate for volume-controlled ventilation

Abstract Background Mechanical power is a summary variable including all the components which can possibly cause VILI (pressures, volume, flow, respiratory rate). Since the complexity of its mathematical computation is one of the major factors that delay its clinical use, we propose here a simple an...
