Med.","JCM"],"abstract":"<jats:p>Background\/Objectives: Mechanical power (MP) quantifies the energy delivered to the respiratory system during ventilation and serves as a promising marker for ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). According to its original definition by Gattinoni, MP reflects the energy transferred from the ventilator to the respiratory system under conditions of deep sedation, passive breathing, neuromuscular blockade, and volume-controlled ventilation. Its role in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) remains under investigation. This systematic review aimed to synthesize the available evidence on the association between MP and VILI, complications related to mechanical ventilation (MV), and mortality in adult patients with COVID-19 undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV). Methods: A systematic review was conducted using PubMed-MEDLINE (Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online) for studies published in recent years, focusing on adult COVID-19 patients undergoing IMV. Inclusion criteria centered on studies reporting MP and its association with VILI, complications, or mortality. Ten studies met eligibility criteria after screening 356 retrieved articles. Results: Most included studies were retrospective and observational, encompassing critically ill COVID-19 patients. Elevated MP was correlated with more severe outcomes, including increased 28-day mortality, prolonged MV, and weaning failure. Franck et al. demonstrated strong correlations between MP and driving pressure, elastance, and positive end-expiratory pressure, emphasizing the importance of calculation methods. Gonz\u00e1lez-Castro et al. identified a threshold of 17 J\/min, above which mortality risk increased. Stalla et al. highlighted that dynamic MP reductions during prone positioning were associated with survival. Registry-based analyses confirmed that both magnitude and cumulative exposure above 18 J\/min increased intensive care unit mortality. Novel indices combining MP with oxygenation parameters improved prognostic accuracy. While absolute MP at initiation provided limited predictive value, temporal trends and individual components were strongly linked to VILI. Conclusions: Higher MP has been associated with adverse clinical outcomes in patients with COVID-19 receiving invasive mechanical ventilation, supporting its potential role as a prognostic indicator. Its dynamic assessment, thresholds, and integration with ventilatory strategies such as prone positioning enhance risk stratification and may guide individualized, lung-protective ventilation. Continuous monitoring and standardized calculation are recommended to optimize clinical decision-making.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm15166476","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,21]],"date-time":"2026-08-21T09:31:59Z","timestamp":1787304719000},"page":"6476","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Mechanical Power as a Predictor of Outcomes During Mechanical Ventilation in Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19): An Updated Systematic Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6825-1154","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Camila Vantini Capasso","family":"Palamim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Molecular Biology and Genetics, Universidade S\u00e3o Francisco (USF), Bragan\u00e7a Paulista 12916-900, SP, Brazil"},{"name":"Laboratory of Clinical and Molecular Microbiology, Universidade S\u00e3o Francisco (USF), Bragan\u00e7a Paulista 12916-900, SP, Brazil"},{"name":"LunGuardian Research Group\u2014Epidemiology of Respiratory and Infectious Diseases, Universidade S\u00e3o Francisco (USF), Bragan\u00e7a Paulista 12916-900, SP, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tais Mendes","family":"Camargo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Molecular Biology and Genetics, Universidade S\u00e3o Francisco (USF), Bragan\u00e7a Paulista 12916-900, SP, Brazil"},{"name":"Laboratory of Clinical and Molecular Microbiology, Universidade S\u00e3o Francisco (USF), Bragan\u00e7a Paulista 12916-900, SP, Brazil"},{"name":"LunGuardian Research Group\u2014Epidemiology of Respiratory and Infectious Diseases, Universidade S\u00e3o Francisco (USF), Bragan\u00e7a Paulista 12916-900, SP, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4955-4234","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fernando Augusto Lima","family":"Marson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Molecular Biology and Genetics, Universidade S\u00e3o Francisco (USF), Bragan\u00e7a Paulista 12916-900, SP, Brazil"},{"name":"Laboratory of Clinical and Molecular Microbiology, Universidade S\u00e3o Francisco (USF), Bragan\u00e7a Paulista 12916-900, SP, Brazil"},{"name":"LunGuardian Research Group\u2014Epidemiology of Respiratory and Infectious Diseases, Universidade S\u00e3o Francisco (USF), Bragan\u00e7a Paulista 12916-900, SP, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1748","DOI":"10.4187\/respcare.11462","article-title":"Mechanical Power of Ventilation: From Computer to Clinical Implications","volume":"68","author":"Damiani","year":"2023","journal-title":"Respir.
