Model based prediction of plateau pressure in mechanically ventilated patients

Model based prediction of plateau pressure in mechanically ventilated patients

The risk of ventilator induced lung injury in mechanically ventilated (MV) critically ill patients can be mitigated by patient-specific optimisation of ventilator settings. Recent studies have shown that driving pressure, i.e. the difference between plateau pressure (Pplat) and PEEP, is a strong ind...
