Simple, accurate calculation of mechanical power in pressure controlled ventilation (PCV)
Abstract Background Mechanical power is a promising new metric to assess energy transfer from a mechanical ventilator to a patient, which combines the contributions of multiple parameters into a single comprehensive value. However, at present, most ventilators are not capable of calculating mechanic...
