Intracycle power distribution in a heterogeneous multi-compartmental mathematical model: possible links to strain and VILI
Abstract
Take home message Potentially damaging tidal energy and power distribute asymmetrically within the heterogeneous environment of the acutely injured lung. Clinician-selected flow profiles not only influence the timing of power delivery, but also spatially distribute the attendant strains of expansion.
