Effect of inspiratory synchronization during pressure-controlled ventilation on lung distension and inspiratory effort

Abstract Background In pressure-controlled (PC) ventilation, tidal volume (V T) and transpulmonary pressure (P L ) result from the addition of ventilator pressure and the patient’s inspiratory effort. PC modes can be classified into fully, partially, and non-synchronized modes, and the degree of syn...
