List of modes of mechanical ventilation by category
From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
Modes of mechanical ventilation has only had an established nomenclature since 2008.[1] It is suggested that the modes categorized under the following sections be referred to as their section header instead of their individual name, which is often a brand name instead of the preferred nomenclature.[1]
Volume controlled continuous mandatory ventilation[edit]
- Volume controlled continuous mandatory ventilation (VC-CMV - formerly known as assist control)
Volume controlled intermittent mandatory ventilation[edit]
Pressure controlled continuous mandatory ventilation[edit]
- Pressure controlled continuous mandatory ventilation (PC-CMV) formerly known as simply pressure control ventilation.
Pressure controlled intermittent mandatory ventilation[edit]
- Airway pressure release ventilation (APRV)
- Pressure regulated volume control (PRVC)
- Proportional assist ventilation (PAV)
- Adaptive support ventilation (ASV)
Continuous spontaneous ventilation[edit]
- Continuous positive pressure ventilation (CPPV or sometimes Cpap.)
- Bilevel positive pressure ventilation (BPAP or sometimes, though unrecommended "BiPap".)
Strategies of mechanical ventilation[edit]
Strategies are not modes of mechanical ventilation but are instead strategies for using modes.
