Measured versus calculated energy expenditure in pressure support ventilated ICU patients.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The detection of epidural space is usually performed by the technique of loss of resistance (LOR) without technological support, although there are few commercial options. In this work, we aimed to assess the feasibility of a new, non-invasive, mechatronic system for LOR detection in clinical settings. The s...
