There is no evidence that pressure control ventilation is superior to volume ventilation in patients with ARDS. This statement assumes that the tidal volumes being used are in line with the recent ...

Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) synchronizes spontaneous respiratory effort with mechanical ventilation. Electrodes detect the electrical activity of the diaphragm (Edi) and transmit this ...

Compared with pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV), volume-targeted ventilation is associated with decreased neonatal complications, including the combined outcome of death or bronchopulmonary ...

Patients with the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) require mechanical ventilation to maintain arterial oxygenation, but this treatment may produce secondary lung injury. High-frequency ...

GE has warned users of the Carestation platform not to use the “volume control ventilation mode” until the device is corrected. When in VCV mode, certain devices may fail to provide effective ...
