A25 CRITICAL CARE: HOW TO GET IT DONE IN THE ICU - TOOLS AND TRICKS OF IMPLEMENTATION IN CRITICAL CARE: Pressure-Targeted Modes Of Invasive Mechanical Ventilation Are Associated With Higher Above-Target Tidal Volumes

Physicians may prescribe a lung protective tidal volume (VT) by utilizing volume-targeted modes or may adjust a driving pressure on pressure-targeted modes; however the actual VT delivered to a patient may be affected both by the mode of ventilation chosen and by patient-ventilator interactions. For...

Summary:Physicians may prescribe a lung protective tidal volume (VT) by utilizing volume-targeted modes or may adjust a driving pressure on pressure-targeted modes; however the actual VT delivered to a patient may be affected both by the mode of ventilation chosen and by patient-ventilator interactions. For volume-targeted modes (assist control [AC], assist control-volume control plus [ACVC+], synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation [SIMV]), the target VT was that which was set on the ventilator.
