What is a Ventilatory Mode? It´s the way in which the ventilator accomplish the goals of mechanical ventilation. Graphnet Ventilator
Ventilatory Modes Classification Control Variables Control the inspiration Constant behavior Non controlled variable modification PRESSURE Controlled Modes FLOW Controlled Modes VOLUME Controlled Modes Graphnet Ventilator
Pressure Controlled Modes The PRESSURE is the variable controlled by the ventilator. It is constant during all Ti. The ventilator try to reach and maintain a preset inspiratory pressure What happen with the non controlled variables?
