Is Mechanical Power the Trojan Horse? Emphasizing the Role of Driving Pressure [PDF]
Background and Objectives: Driving pressure (DP) and components of mechanical power (MP) have been proposed as prognostic markers in ARDS. The prognostic significance of these parameters in COVID-19–associated ARDS (C-ARDS), particularly during the early

Standardized pre-bronchoscopy mechanical power and KPC resistance as predictors of mortality in ventilated ICU patients: a retrospective cohort study [PDF]
BackgroundMechanical power (MP) quantifies the energy delivered by the ventilator per unit time and is linked to ventilator-induced lung injury and mortality in mechanically ventilated patients. Its prognostic value before high-risk interventions such as

Mechanical power and normalized mechanical power in pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome
BackgroundMechanical power (MP) refers to the energy transmitted over time to the respiratory system and serves as a unifying determinant of ventilator-induced lung injury. MP normalization is required to account for developmental changes in children. We

Exploring the association of mechanical power with mortality and phenotypes among patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome: a retrospective analysis [PDF]
IntroductionMechanical power (MP) quantifies the energy delivered from a ventilator to the respiratory system and is a key contributor to ventilator-induced lung injury. This study evaluated the association between MP and mortality in patients with acute

I. Costanzo, S. Murgia, G. Valenti, F. Fasani. Experimental investigation on a sliding-vane expander for steam applications / trans. from Engl. M. A. Fedorova [PDF]
There are many industrial plants that use steam as an energy vector at different pressure levels, in which pressure reduction is commonly performed by a throttling valve, resulting a totally irreversible process.

Analysis of mechanical power during pressure-controlled ventilation in patients with severe burns
Introduction: The clinical evolution of severe burns can lead to Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) with increased requirements for mechanical ventilation, which may lead to the development of Ventilator-Induced Lung Injury (VILI). Together, ARDS

4DPRR- Index for predicting mortality in COVID-19 ARDS
Background Mortality in ARDS was reduced significantly after the introduction of the low tidal volume ventilation strategy. It has been recently shown that lung-protective ventilation strategies should primarily target driving pressure rather than Vt ...
