Mechanical power during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and hospital mortality in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome
Abstract Background Mechanical power (MP) refers to the energy delivered by a ventilator to the respiratory system per unit of time. MP referenced to predicted body weight (PBW) or respiratory system compliance have better predictive value for mortality than MP alone in acute respiratory distress sy...
