Time constant to determine PEEP levels in mechanically ventilated COVID-19 ARDS: a feasibility study

Abstract Background We hypothesized that the measured expiratory time constant (TauE) could be a bedside parameter for the evaluation of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) settings in mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients during pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV). Methods A prospective s...
