Abstract

Mechanical ventilation delivers pressure, flow, and/or volume to the patient with the aim of improving ventilation and reducing inspiratory work. Depending on various circumstances, such as the level of sedation, paralysis, or if the ventilator support is patient triggered or not, the goals of mechanical ventilation (improved ventilation and reduced work of breathing) may be achieved in different ways.
