Flow Index accurately identifies breaths with low or high inspiratory effort during pressure support ventilation

Abstract Background Flow Index, a numerical expression of the shape of the inspiratory flow-time waveform recorded during pressure support ventilation, is associated with patient inspiratory effort. The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of Flow Index in detecting high or low inspiratory e...
