Description

© 2019 Elsevier Ltd Background: Mechanical Ventilation (MV) is an important intensive care therapy. It is often used in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) to treat respiratory distress syndrome. This paper uses model-based methods in a first in-depth attempt to quantify the underlying lung mechanics in NICU patients. Methods: Up to 24 h of airway flow and pressure data were recorded in 10 mechanically ventilated patients. A single compartment model with added term for the pressure drop acr...
