Visualizing the dynamic mechanical power and time burden of mechanical ventilation patients: an analysis of the MIMIC-IV database.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Limiting driving pressure and mechanical power is associated with reduced mortality risk in both patients with and without acute respiratory distress syndrome. However, it is still poorly understood how the intensity of mechanical ventilation and its corresponding duration impact the risk of mortality.

Methods

Critically ill patients who received mechanical ventilation were identified from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC)-IV database. A visualization method was developed by calculating the odds ratio of survival for all combinations of ventilation duration and intensity to assess the relationship between the intensity and duration of mechanical ventilation and the mortality risk.

Results

A total of 6251 patients were included. The col
