In vivo calibration of esophageal pressure in the mechanically ventilated patient

Wondering how to optimize Pes measurement in ventilated patients? After the in vitro study on different performaces of Pes catheters in different conditions of intrathoracic pressures, check here the new GRIP publications on how to perform a correct Pes catheter calibration in order to obtain reliable measurements of Pes and therefore of respiratory mechanics.
