Mechanical power at a glance: a simple surrogate for volume-controlled ventilation by Lorenzo Giosa, Mattia Busana, Iacopo Pasticci, Matteo Bonifazi, Matteo Maria Macrì, Federica Romitti, Francesco Vassalli, Davide Chiumello, Michael Quintel, J. J. Marini, Luciano Gattinoni

“…Since the complexity of its mathematical computation is one of the major factors that delay its clinical use, we propose here a simple and easy to remember equation to estimate mechanical power under volume-controlled ventilation: Mechanical Power=VE×Peak Pressure+PEEP+F/620 $$ \mathrm{Mechanical}\ \mathrm{Power}=\frac{\mathrm{VE}\times \left(\mathrm{Peak}\ \mathrm{Pressure}+\mathrm{PEEP}+F/6\right)}{20} $$ where the mechanical power is expressed in Joules/minute, the minute ventilation (VE) in liters/minute, the inspiratory flow (F) in liters/minute, and peak pressure and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) in centimeter of water. …”
