The distension index %E(2), derived from the VDSCM considering flow-dependencies, seems able to identify tidal recruitment/overdistension induced by Vt and PEEP independent of flow waveform in healthy lung-anesthetized patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
