Pressure regulated volume controlled ventilation versus synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation in COPD patients suffering from acute respiratory failure

Pressure regulated volume controlled ventilation versus synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation in COPD patients suffering from acute respiratory failure

Background: Volume controlled ventilation (VC) allows a set tidal volume to be guaranteed but it causes excessive airway pressures that may lead to barotrauma. Pressure controlled ventilation (PC) limits ventilator-induced lung injury but has a disadvantage of variable tidal volume delivery. Pressur...
