Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the volume guarantee mode is activated,the ventilator continuously measures and compares inspired and expired tidal volume.Each following breath uses the comparisons from the previous breath to make adjustments to the peak inspiratory pressure so that a volume as close as possible to the preset value can be delivered.If there is a positional leak and it is active,the expired tidal volume will be lower than the inspired tidal volume,and the ventilator will increase the pressure to attempt to match the two monitored volumes.This increase in pressure continues if the leak continues.However,if the patient's position changes and the leak is not occurring,the breath delivered will be significantly larger than intended.The limit to the amount of volume is 130% of the targeted volume.At this point,the exhalation valve will open,and no additional ventilator-driven gas will be delivered to the patient.Close monitoring of patient-ventilator interaction is needed during use of this mode.
