Respiratory failure & ventilation
Different ventilation intensities among various categories of patients ventilated for reasons other than ARDS––A pooled analysis of 4 observational studies
Authors' conclusion
The intensity of ventilation differed between patients with sepsis or pneumonia and patients receiving ventilation for any other reason; ΔP was associated with higher mortality in sepsis and pneumonia patients.

Further pooled results
Mechanical power (MP)
- Median MP also higher in sepsis and pneumonia patients
ICU mortality
- ΔP, as opposed to MP, associated with ICU mortality in sepsis and pneumonia patients
