Effect of Ventilator Settings on Mechanical Power During Simulated Mechanical Ventilation of Patients With ARDS

CONCLUSIONS: VCV-CF resulted in the lowest MP. VT was the most efficient for maintaining safe and protective MP in a mathematical simulation of subjects with ARDS. In the context of maintaining low and safe MPs, ventilatory strategies with lower-than-normal VT and higher-than-normal breathing frequency will need to be implemented in patients with ARDS.PMID:38538014 | DOI:10.4187/respcare.11470
