Validation of the flow index to detect low inspiratory effort during pressure support ventilation

Abstract Background Bedside assessment of low levels of inspiratory effort, which are probably insufficient to prevent muscle atrophy, is challenging. The flow index, which is derived from the analysis of the inspiratory portion of the flow–time waveform, has been recently introduced as a non-invasi...
