    Mechanical ventilation has evolved from rigid strategies to precision ventilation, focusing on individualized, physiology-guided approaches.

  • 2

    Personalization of mechanical ventilation is crucial for preventing ventilator-induced lung injury and diaphragmatic dysfunction.

  • 3

    Studies show that optimizing ventilator settings, such as inspiratory rise time, can significantly affect mechanical power and patient comfort.

  • 4

    Lung-protective ventilation strategies in pediatric patients have been shown to reduce intraoperative atelectasis compared to conventional methods.

  • 5

    Risk prediction models for extubation failure highlight the need for integrating dynamic physiological variables to improve therapeutic success.
