Description
Serdar Efe proposes a three-dimensional pyramid model that shows lung mechanics during machine ventilation as one picture instead of scattered numbers. Ventilator data now arrive fragmented, forcing hard mental assembly at the bedside of critically ill patients.
The pyramid's edges carry the three loads on the lung: stretchy, resistive, and obstructive, with flow, pressure, and volume as its axes. Derived measures such as mechanical power, driving pressure, and a new asymmetry index map onto the shape as it changes. Eleven simulated illness scenarios each produced a distinct pyramid pattern matching the condition mimicked. Efe stresses the tool is a concept for teaching and pattern-spotting, needing prospective tests before any treatment use.
