Volume-controlled continuous mandatory ventilation allows the clinician to set the tidal volume, respiratory rate, and FiO2, providing the most control over the patient's ventilatory pattern and acid-base balance. In contrast, pressure-supported ventilation and pressure-controlled inspiratory reserve volume rely on the patient's own efforts to trigger the ventilator, making it more challenging to control the ventilatory pattern and acid-base balance. Volume-controlled intermittent mandatory ventilation allows for some control over the ventilatory pattern during mandatory breaths, but the patient has more control during spontaneous breaths.
