Elevated Driving Pressure in Pressure-Controlled Ventilation: An Independent Risk Factor for Adverse Outcomes in Mechanically Ventilated Neonates

Key Points

To investigate the independent impact of elevated driving pressure on outcomes in mechanically ventilated neonates.
Analyzed the relationship between elevated driving pressure and adverse outcomes in neonates.
Monitored driving pressure during pressure-controlled ventilation.
Utilized clinical scoring systems for risk stratification.
Elevated driving pressure correlates with increased risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD).
The effect is stronger in very preterm infants.
Routine monitoring improves early identification of at-risk neonates.

Abstract

Elevated DP is an independent, modifiable risk factor for adverse outcomes-particularly BPD-in mechanically ventilated neonates. The effect is most pronounced in very preterm infants. Routine DP monitoring combined with clinical scoring (e.g., CRIB II) may improve early risk stratification and facilitate individualized lung-protective ventilation.
