Adaptive mechanical ventilation with automated minimization of mechanical power—a pilot randomized cross-over study

Abstract Background Adaptive mechanical ventilation automatically adjusts respiratory rate (RR) and tidal volume (V T) to deliver the clinically desired minute ventilation, selecting RR and V T based on Otis’ equation on least work of breathing. However, the resulting V T may be relatively high, esp...
