Comparison of airway opening pressure measurements: low-constant-flow vs. constant low-slope pressure ramp methods
Systematic biases were observed between AOP<sub>flow</sub> and AOP<sub>pres</sub>, with AOP<sub>flow</sub> tending to yield higher values. However, the physiological significance of the AOP values obtained from each method remains unclear, and caution is needed for clinical application.
