Elevated Driving Pressure and Elastance Does Not Increase In-Hospital Mortality Among Obese and Severely Obese Patients With Ventilator Dependent Respiratory Failure

Elevated Driving Pressure and Elastance Does Not Increase In-Hospital Mortality Among Obese and Severely Obese Patients With Ventilator Dependent Respiratory Failure

Importance:. Existing recommendations for mechanical ventilation are based on studies that under-sampled or excluded obese and severely obese individuals. Objective:. To determine if driving pressure (DP) and total respiratory system elastance (Ers) differ among normal/overweight (body mass index [B...
