Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Volume-controlled inverse-ratio ventilation (VCIRV) is a mode of ventilation in which all breaths are mandatory and volume cycled with an inverse I:E ratio. This mode is typically used in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) to improve oxygenation and reduce the risk of ventilator-induced lung injury. Airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) is a mode of ventilation that allows for spontaneous breathing at any time during the ventilator cycle, while pressure-controlled inverse-ratio ventilation (PCIRV) is a mode of ventilation in which all breaths are mandatory and pressure cycled with an inverse I:E ratio. Volume-assured pressure support is a mode of ventilation that provides a target tidal volume in pressure support ventilation.
