Mechanical power is the power that the ventilator transmits to the respirator for lung ventilation. In recent years, some researchers have suggested that mechanical power may be a good indicator for assessing ventilator-induced lung injury in general, which can be used for guiding the best mechanical ventilation strategy. While introducing the definition and calculation method of mechanical power, this paper focuses on the association and potential mechanism of mechanical power with ventilator-induced lung injury, which aims to provide a new perspective and research direction for clinical understanding of ventilator-induced lung injury.
机械功率是呼吸机传递给呼吸器官用于肺通气的功率。近年来,一些研究人员提出,机械功率总体上可能是评估呼吸机相关性肺损伤的一个良好指标,可用于指导最佳机械通气策略。本文在介绍机械功率的定义和计算方法的同时,重点探讨机械功率与呼吸机相关性肺损伤的关联及潜在机制,旨在为临床理解呼吸机相关性肺损伤提供新的视角和研究方向。
