🫁 How Do We Calculate the V/Q Ratio?
🩺 Measurement Methods:
️V/Q can be assessed clinically using:
✅️V/Q Scan (imaging)
✅️Multiple Inert Gas Elimination Technique (MIGET)

💪New in #CriticalCare:
Persistent inspiratory muscle weakness among extubated patients after prolonged intubation is frequent and can be predicted early by maximal inspiratory pressure measured 12 days after its initial diagnosis

In 391 ICU patients with a stay ≥7 days, outdoor therapy vs usual care reduced severity of delirium.
Awesome.

🧠Review in #CritCare
This systematic review and meta-analysis shows that lower MAP thresholds are consistently associated with worse functional outcomes, supporting current guidelines for MAP augmentation—but more high-quality studies are needed.
