Mechanical power (MP) and mechanical energy (ME) have been proposed as unifying determinants of ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). Theoretically, a ventilation strategy can be selected to minimize MP or ME, which should lower the risk for VILI, although this principle still needs to be tested in clinical trials. However, both MP and ME need to be normalized to account for differences in lung size because the energy per unit volume is a key determinant of VILI (1–3). Most typically, lung volume measurements are normalized to predicted body weight (PBW), in both adults and children. However, when considering patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), the “baby lung” concept reinforces that lung volumes, particularly FRC, are further reduced beyond what would be expected from PBW. As such, some suggest normalization of MP and ME to FRC, and in adult patients with ARDS, FRC-normalized MP is more associated with outcome than MP normalized to other parameters (4). However, FRC is often not available for clinical use. Respiratory system static compliance (Crs) may be a readily available surrogate for FRC in adult patients with ARDS, although lung compliance (CL) is more precise and appears to be most proportional to FRC in adults (5). Unfortunately, CL requires esophageal pressure (Pes) measurement.
