Mechanical power is the power that the ventilator transmits to the respirator for lung ventilation. In recent years, some researchers have suggested that mechanical power may be a good indicator for assessing ventilator-induced lung injury in general, which can be used for guiding the best mechanical ventilation strategy. While introducing the definition and calculation method of mechanical power, this paper focuses on the association and potential mechanism of mechanical power with ventilator-induced lung injury, which aims to provide a new perspective and research direction for clinical understanding of ventilator-induced lung injury.

D011446	Prospective Studies	Observation of a population for a sufficient number of persons over a sufficient number of years to generate incidence or mortality rates subsequent to the selection of the study group.	Prospective Study,Studies, Prospective,Study, Prospective
D012121	Respiration, Artificial	Any method of artificial breathing that employs mechanical or non-mechanical means to force the air into and out of the lungs. Artificial respiration or ventilation is used in individuals who have stopped breathing or have RESPIRATORY INSUFFICIENCY to increase their intake of oxygen (O2) and excretion of carbon dioxide (CO2).

D055397	Ventilator-Induced Lung Injury	Lung damage that is caused by the adverse effects of PULMONARY VENTILATOR usage. The high frequency and tidal volumes produced by a mechanical ventilator can cause alveolar disruption and PULMONARY EDEMA.
