From: Intracycle power and ventilation mode as potential contributors to ventilator-induced lung injury
Mathematical model predictions of elastic pressure (Pelastic, cmH2O) and intracycle total power (ICPT, watts) versus inflation time (t) in response to each of four flow profiles applied in ARDS: pressure control, Pset; constant flow, CF; decelerating flow DF; and sinusoidal flow, SF. Severe ARDS (panels A and B) is compared with mild ARDS (panels C and D). Tidal volume, inspiratory time and flow resistance settings were identical for each profile
