Mechanical power normalized to lung-thorax compliance predicts prolonged ventilation weaning failure: a prospective study
Abstract Background Mechanical power (MP) of artificial ventilation, the energy transferred to the respiratory system, is a chief determinant of adequate oxygenation and decarboxylation. Calculated MP, the product of applied airway pressure and minute ventilation, may serve as an estimate of respira...
