Mean Airway Pressure-An Informative but Overlooked Indicator of Mechanical Power.

Crit Care Explor

Mean airway pressure, a monitored variable continuously available on the modern ventilator, is the pressure measured at the airway opening averaged over the time needed to complete the entire respiratory cycle. Mean airway pressure is well recognized to connect three key physiologic processes in mechanical ventilation: physical stretch, cardiovascular dynamics, and pulmonary gas exchange. Although other parameters currently employed in adults to determine "safe" ventilation are undoubtedly valuable for daily practice, all have limitations for continuous monitoring of ventilation hazard.

Background: Volatile anesthetics are gaining recognition for their benefits in long-term sedation of mechanically ventilated patients with bacterial pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome. In addition to their sedative role, they also exhibit anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, though the mechanisms behind these effects remain only partially understood. In vitro studies examining the prolonged impact of volatile anesthetics on bacterial growth, inflammatory cytokine response, and surfactant proteins - key to maintaining lung homeostasis - are still lacking.

Saturation of respiratory strain during robotic hysterectomy in obese women with endometrial cancer.

September 2025

Division of Gynecologic Oncology, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, UT Health San Antonio, 7703 Floyd Curl Drive, 7836, San Antonio, TX, 78229-3900, USA.

To evaluate intraoperative ventilatory mechanics during robotic-assisted hysterectomy in obese women with endometrial cancer and introduce the concept of a physiologic "ceiling effect" in respiratory strain. We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 89 women with biopsy-confirmed endometrial cancer who underwent robotic-assisted total hysterectomy between 2011 and 2015. Intraoperative ventilatory parameters, including plateau airway pressure and static lung compliance, were recorded at five-minute intervals.

Ladakh is a hilly Himalayan dry desert, situated at an altitude of >11,000 feet. Studies have demonstrated that the spirometric values of high-altitude residents are significantly higher than those of low landers. This is a retrospective observational study that analyzes the spirometry pattern in chronic lung diseases among people from Ladakh.
