The Association Between Mechanical Power Within the First 24 Hours and ICU Mortality in Mechanically Ventilated Adult Patients With Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure

In this study, exposure to high MP within the first 24 hours of IMV was associated with increased ICU mortality in patients with AHRF. The absence of a consistent safe threshold suggests that reducing MP at IMV initiation may be a strategy to improve outcomes, warranting exploration in clinical trials.
