Proposed mechanics (MP, ΔP) computed directly. PaCO₂ is an estimate from alveolar minute ventilation scaling (now using the patient's live Vd/Vt when EtCO₂ is supplied); pH estimated via Henderson–Hasselbalch; EtCO₂ projected by holding Vd/Vt constant. Oxygenation response (PaO₂/SpO₂) is not modelled — trial and observe clinically. The mechanical power decomposition panel shows lung mechanics (compliance, resistance, PEEP) — Suggest targets assumes the lung is unchanged, so that polygon only moves if you edit Pplat, Ppeak, or PEEP directly, or choose "Prioritise MP" (which trims PEEP when it's high).

Evidence base & references
Thresholds and decision logic are derived from the sources below. Evidence grades are indicative — always apply local protocol and senior clinical judgement.
This tool is a clinical decision support aid for education and methodological exploration. It does not replace clinical assessment, local guidelines, or senior review. Evidence grades use the same four-level vocabulary as the methodology paper: Trial — threshold taken from, or tested in, a randomised trial or its protocol; Observational — association from cohort or secondary/mediation analyses, causality not established; Consensus — commonly adopted values or guideline definitions where trial evidence for that specific threshold is lacking; Derived — transparent display calculations with no external evidence base, whose formula is shown so the arithmetic can be verified independently. Entries tagged Design decision record deliberate modelling choices and are not evidence grades.
