Abstract
Knowledge of respiratory system mechanics during assisted ventilation is of high clinical interest. To date, it is only possible to measure it using an esophageal catheter or with the help of maneuvers using a specifically modified ventilator [1, 2].
Highlights
Knowledge of respiratory system mechanics during assisted ventilation is of high clinical interest
To assess the accuracy of a novel method to determine respiratory system mechanics during pressure-support ventilation in a prospective clinical study
Respiratory system compliance was calculated by dividing the volume change induced by small changes in pressure-support level by the corresponding change in mean inspiratory airway pressure with subsequent adjustment for the pressure-support termination criterion (25% of peak inspiratory flow)
Summary
Knowledge of respiratory system mechanics during assisted ventilation is of high clinical interest. Objectives To assess the accuracy of a novel method to determine respiratory system mechanics during pressure-support ventilation in a prospective clinical study.
