Effect of mechanical power on intensive care mortality in ARDS patients

Effect of mechanical power on intensive care mortality in ARDS patients

Abstract Background In ARDS patients, mechanical ventilation should minimize ventilator-induced lung injury. The mechanical power which is the energy per unit time released to the respiratory system according to the applied tidal volume, PEEP, respiratory rate, and flow should reflect the ventilator...
