Compared with a volume-cycled strategy, what are some potential advantages of pressure-targeted ventilatory support?
I.limit and control of peak airway pressures
II.direct control over inspiratory time
III.provision of a decelerating flow pattern

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pressure-targeted ventilatory support allows for the limitation and control of peak airway pressures and provides a decelerating flow pattern, which can be beneficial in terms of gas exchange and reducing the risk of barotrauma. Direct control over inspiratory time is not a unique advantage of pressure-targeted modes as it can be adjusted in both volume-cycled and pressure-targeted ventilation.
