ICU Physiology in 1000 Words: The Driving Power & Ventilator-Induced Lung Injury
www.pulmccm.org
Jon-Emile S. Kenny MD [@heart_lung] The mechanical power applied to the lung is a risk factor for ventilator or ventilation-induced lung injury [VILI] [1-4]. But can the work done to the lung over time be homogenized into a single value? Could different components of the power equation carry different VILI risk beyond their mathematical inequalities [
