Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how common elevated mechanical power (MP) values are in critically ill patients on invasive mechanical ventilation.
- It analyzed data from 372 patients across 133 Critical Care Units, revealing higher MP in pressure-controlled (PC) ventilation compared to volume-controlled (VC) ventilation, but no significant difference in the prevalence of high MP (>17J/min) between the two methods.
- The findings suggest a notable number of patients may face the risk of high MP, indicating a need for careful monitoring in ventilated patients, despite the lack of a significant difference in high MP prevalence based on the ventilation type.
Objective: To specify the degree of probative force of the statistical hypotheses in relation to mortality at 28 days and the threshold value of 17 J/min mechanical power (MP) in patients with respiratory failure secondary to SARS-CoV-2.
Design: Cohort study, longitudinal, analytical.
Setting: Intensive care unit of a third level hospital in Spain.

From a post hoc analysis of the ADENI-UCI study (multicenter, observational, cohort, prospective study, with a follow-up period of 13 months, in 62 Intensive Medicine Services in Spain. geographical differences in the reason for denial of income in UCI as a LTSV measure are analyzed. A total of 2284 with an average age of 75.

Methods: Post hoc analysis of the ADENI-UCI study. The main variable analysed was the reason for refusal of admission to the ICU as a measure of LLST.
