Volume- Versus Pressure-Controlled Mechanical Ventilation in Acute Respiratory Failure

  • 27 Accesses

Abstract

The methodology available for applying mechanical ventilation in acute respiratory failure has expanded greatly over the past decade. Numerous new models of mechanical ventilators, all of which are microprocessor controlled, are currently available. With the development of these new ventilators comes increased versatility of modes, enhanced monitoring and alarm capability, and highly variable gas delivery algorithms. Today, the approach used for mechanical ventilation during acute respiratory failure can be based either on a volume-targeted or a pressure-targeted format, with either control, assist/control, assist, or synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation provided during each targeted strategy.
