Background: Mechanical power (MP) serves as a crucial predictive indicator for ventilator-induced lung injury and plays a pivotal role in tailoring the management of mechanical ventilation. However, its application across different diseases and stages remains nuanced.
Methods: Using AmsterdamUMCdb, we conducted a retrospective study to analyze the causal relationship between MP and outcomes of invasive mechanical ventilation, specifically SpO/FiO ratio (P/F) and ventilator-free days at day 28 (VFD28).
