The Relationship Between Driving Pressure, Mechanical Power, Oxygenation and Saturation Indices: Retrospective Observational Study

By using Mechanical Power and Driving Pressure instead of Pmean we calculate new oxygen saturation indices like Driving Pressure Oxygen Index (OIDP), Dynamic Power Oxygen Index (OIMPdyn), Total Power Oxygen Index (OIMPtot), Driving Pressure Saturation Index (OSIDP), Dynamic Power Saturation Index (OSIMPdyn) ve Power Saturation Index (OSIMPtot).New oxygenation and saturation indices are able to predict ICU mortality better than the conventional indexes and rates.
