Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pressure support (PS)is a mode of ventilation in which the patient's spontaneous respiratory activity is augmented by the delivery of a preset amount of inspiratory positive pressure.Positive end-expiratory pressure provides positive pressure at end expiration during mechanical breaths,and continuous positive airway pressure provides positive pressure during spontaneous breaths.The T-piece adapter is used to provide oxygen with spontaneous,unassisted breaths.
