ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Mechanical power (MP) is a promising tool for guidance of lung protective ventilation. Different equations have been proposed to calculate MP in pressure control ventilation (PCV). The aim of this study is to introduce an easy to use MP equation MPMETHODS:
Ventilatory parameters of 206 Covid-19 ARDS patients recorded between 24-72 hours after admission to intensive care unit. The PCV data from these patients were retrospectively investigated. MP in PCV was calculated with a modified equation (MPRESULTS:
Inspiratory resistance levels at 15 cmHCONCLUSIONS:
The results of this study confirmed that the MP
