Airway Pressure Stress Index, Transpulmonary Pressure Stress Index
Effects of Chest Wall Elastance on Pulmonary Mechanics of Acute Respiratory Failure (ARF)
Patients with chest wall elastance increasing could worsen lung function. Increasing of chest wall elastance plays a great role in lung mechanics, and could influence mechanical ventilation settings.
