Article Synopsis
- Over the last decade, research has focused on how mechanical power contributes to ventilation-induced lung injury and its potential link to ICU mortality, but most studies have only looked at early mechanical ventilation data.
- This study analyzed mechanical power in patients ventilated for over 24 hours in a Spanish ICU, determining how prolonged exposure to high mechanical power impacts mortality rates and hospital stay duration.
- Researchers established that a mechanical power threshold of 18 J/min significantly correlates with increased ICU mortality; specifically, the risk of death rises by 0.1% for each additional hour patients are ventilated above this threshold.
