Mechanical Ventilation
Educational tools for ventilator management. Always interpret in clinical context.
🫁 Predicted Body Weight (PBW)
Calculation based on ARDSnet formula. Used to guide lung-protective ventilation.
🫁 PaCO₂ Adjustment
Inverse relationship between PaCO₂ and minute ventilation. Does not replace arterial blood gas analysis or clinical judgment.
🫁 Driving Pressure (ΔP)
Driving Pressure (ΔP) is calculated as:
ΔP = Plateau Pressure − PEEP
Associated with ventilator-induced lung injury risk.
