Utility of Driving Pressure and Mechanical Power to Guide Protective Ventilator Settings in Two Cohorts of Adult and Pediatric Patients With Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: A Computational Investigation.

Objectives: Mechanical power and driving pressure have been proposed as indicators, and possibly drivers, of ventilator-induced lung injury. We tested the utility of these different measures as targets to derive maximally protective ventilator settings.Design: A high-fidelity computational simulator...
