Comparison of Mechanical Power Calculations of Volume Control and Pressure Control Modes

On the 2nd day of intensive care hospitalization, while under deep sedation and in the controlled mode (VCV or PRVC) and in the supine position, the ventilator in the VCV mode was switched to PRVC mode for 60 minutes without changing any of the set ventilator settings (RR, PEEP, TV, I:E ratio). Likewise, if it is in PRVC mode, it is also switched to VCV mode for 60 minutes. MP values were calculated from the minute respiratory parameters of all patients with the MP formulas defined in the software.
