Today we take a road trip to go over the basic ventilator settings for pressure and volume control and pressure support ventilation. We will use an on-line ventilator to demonstrate these basics.
Depends on the situation. There is no evidence that one mode is better than another in terms of patient outcomes. I use VC when I want to make sure that the minute ventilation is controlled.
@@tashabanack2807 Most ventilators now have the best of both worlds with a form of ventilation that is volume controlled but pressure regulated (PRVC). The ventilator has an algorithm that monitors the pressure generated while delivering a breath and adjusts the flow rate to get the volume in at the lowest possible pressure.
The Pressure Control Mode in general has a "Decelerating" flow pattern and this prevents increases in System Pressures and Barotrauma to the patient. On the other hand Volume Control or Assist Control Ventilation has a Constant Flow pattern and for the same Tidal Volume will generate a Higher Peak Airway Pressure exposing the patient to Barotrauma.
Also, thank you very much for this recap. The hospital I work at has recently purchased one of these ventilators, so this video came in very helpful.

Cute ventilator! I like the way he says ventilator! I love ventilators! ! ! ! !
Great lecture sir
thankyou
good sir ji
Hello Dr. Hudson, can you please explain when you would use a volume control mode over a pressure control?

@@DarrenHudson So would it be wrong to say... Use a vcv or volume targeted mode unless you are worried about pressures?

I didn't hear anything about Flow Rate????
Volume is barely audible.

I hardly can hear what he is whispering about
Terrible!
