The Association Between Mechanical Power and Mortality in Critically Ill Patients Receiving Invasive Mechanical Ventilation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Critical care medicine·July 1, 2026·PMID 42153811
Why it mattersMechanical power integrates key ventilator parameters linked to ventilator-induced lung injury, and this meta-analysis strengthens its role as a bedside marker of ergotrauma. For intensivists, monitoring mechanical power could aid in risk stratification and guide lung-protective ventilation strategies, though interventional trials are lacking.
