Accuracy of the estimations of respiratory mechanics using an expiratory time constant in passive and active breathing conditions: a bench study

Abstract Background Respiratory mechanics monitoring provides useful information for guiding mechanical ventilation, but many measuring methods are inappropriate for awake patients. This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of dynamic mechanics estimation using expiratory time constant (RCexp) calcu...
