Energy transmission in mechanically ventilated children: a translational study

Energy transmission in mechanically ventilated children: a translational study

Abstract Background Recurrent delivery of tidal mechanical energy (ME) inflicts ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) when stress and strain exceed the limits of tissue tolerance. Mechanical power (MP) is the mathematical description of the ME delivered to the respiratory system over time. It is unk...
