MECHANICAL POWER OF VENTILATION AND DRIVING PRESSURE: TWO UNDERVALUED PARAMETERS FOR PRE EXTRACORPOREAL MEMBRANE OXYGENATION VENTILATION AND DURING DAILY MANAGEMENT?

Mechanical power of ventilation and driving pressure: two undervalued parameters for pre extracorporeal membrane oxygenation ventilation and during daily management?

Abstract The current ARDS guidelines highly recommend lung protective ventilation which include plateau pressure (P plat 5 cm H2O) and tidal volume (V t of 6 ml/kg) of predicted body weight.In contrast, the ELSO guidelines suggest the evaluation of an indication of veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) due to hypoxemic or hypercapn
