Abstract:
Mechanical power is the power that the ventilator transmits to the respirator for lung ventilation. In recent years, some researchers have suggested that mechanical power may be a good indicator for assessing ventilator-induced lung injury in general, which can be used for guiding the best mechanical ventilation strategy. While introducing the definition and calculation method of mechanical power, this paper focuses on the association and potential mechanism of mechanical power with ventilator-induced lung injury, which aims to provide a new perspective and research direction for clinical understanding of ventilator-induced lung injury.
