Mean Airway Pressure As a Predictor of 90-Day Mortality in Mechanically Ventilated Patients.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To determine the association between mean airway pressure and 90-day mortality in patients with acute respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation and to compare the predictive ability of mean airway pressure compared with inspiratory plateau pressure and driving pressure.

Design

Prospective observational cohort.

Setting

Five ICUs in Lima, Peru.

Subjects

Adults requiring invasive mechanical ventilation via endotracheal tube for acute respiratory failure.

Interventions

None.

Measurements and main results

Of potentially eligible participants (n = 1,500), 65 (4%) were missing baseline mean airway pressure, while 352 (23.5%) were missing baseline plateau pressure and driving pressure. Ultimately, 1,429 participants were included in
