Esophageal pressure: use in acute hypoxemic respiratory failure

ESICM Talk

Esophageal pressure measurement plays a crucial role in estimating transpulmonary pressure, with both its absolute values and variations being key factors in assessing lung injury from mechanical forces during ventilation. To gain deeper insights into esophageal pressure monitoring and the essential equipment required for accurate measurement, tune in to the NEXT podcast. Luigi Zattera, the NEXT representative, conducted an insightful interview with Lise Piquilloud, head of the Acute Respiratory Failure (ARF) section.
