Abstract:Standard Crs reference values (50–70 ml/cmH2O) lack population-specific data and might be influenced by anthropometry. This study aimed to establish practical Crs values, explore the Crs/Predicted Body Weight (PBW) relationship, and develop a predictive model for Crs. A multicenter, cross-sectional study involving mechanically ventilated patients was conducted across Brazil. Patients with hemodynamic instability, chest wall deformities, or intrathoracic limitations were excluded. Data collected included PBW, p… Show more
