Abstract
Proportional assist ventilation (PAV) is a partial ventilatory support mode in which the ventilator generates pressure (Paw) in proportion to patient effort (Pmus). During PAV there is no preset target for flow, volume or airway pressure. Consequently, this mode allows the patient to retain complete control, at least theoretically, over his or her breathing pattern.
