Bedside calculation of mechanical power during volume- and pressure-controlled mechanical ventilation

Abstract Background Mechanical power (MP) is the energy delivered to the respiratory system over time during mechanical ventilation. Our aim was to compare the currently available methods to calculate MP during volume- and pressure-controlled ventilation, comparing different equations with the geome...
