Impact of Height Estimation on Tidal Volume Calculation for Protective Ventilation—A Prospective Observational Study

Impact of Height Estimation on Tidal Volume Calculation for Protective Ventilation—A Prospective Observational Study

Objectives:. The current standard of care to deliver invasive mechanical ventilation support is the protective ventilation approach. One pillar of this approach is the limitation of tidal volume to less than 6 mL/Kg of predicted body weight. Predicted body weight is calculated from patient’s height....
