Four patients in both groups were ventilated with airway pressure release ventilation (APRV).
We compared 2-hour CENPV using a tank respirator with 2-hour CPPV using biphasic positive airway pressure/airway pressure release ventilation with an Evita 1 ventilator (Dräger, Lübeck, Germany).
NMH holds patents on a method of initiating, managing, and/or weaning airway pressure release ventilation, as well as controlling a ventilator in accordance with the same, but these patents are not commercialized, licensed, nor royalty-producing.
Spontaneous breathing in any phase of the mechanical ventilator cycle is possible during airway pressure release ventilation (APRV), a technique that provides ventilatory support by time-cycled switching between two continuous positive airway pressure levels [ 1- 3].
Spontaneous breathing in any phase of the mechanical ventilator cycle is possible during airway pressure release ventilation, a ventilation mode that periodically switches between two levels of continuous positive airway pressure [ 67].
Discussions of advanced ventilator management including lung protective strategies, airway pressure release ventilation, and pressure control inverse ratio ventilation will be useful to the advanced critical care practitioner.
