Pressure-time curve predicts minimally injurious ventilatory strategy in an isolated rat lung model.
We tested the hypothesis that the pressure-time (P-t) curve during constant flow ventilation can be used to set a noninjurious ventilatory strategy. ⋯ The predictive power of coefficient b to predict noninjurious ventilatory strategy in a model of acute lung injury is high.
