Six methods to determine expiratory time constants in mechanically ventilated patients: a prospective observational physiology study
Abstract Background Expiratory time constant (τ) objectively assesses the speed of exhalation and can guide adjustments of the respiratory rate and the I:E ratio with the goal of achieving complete exhalation. Multiple methods of obtaining τ are available, but they have not been compared. The purpos...
