Evaluation of the mean airway pressure – Minute ventilation (mM) Equation for mechanical power during spontaneous breathing
Simplifying Mechanical Power: Can the mM Equation Work During Spontaneous Breathing. Abstract: Mechanical power (MP) quantifies the energy delivered to the lungs during ventilation, integrating pressures, volumes, and rates. The minute ventilation–mean airway pressure (mM) equation was designed as a simple surrogate for MP. This study used 3,000 simulated scenarios (PCV & VCV, with/without spontaneous […]
