Fig 3 Algorithm for VCV and PCV settings. Vt, tidal volume; RR, respiratory rate; PEEP, positive end-expiratory pressure; Pplateau, plateau pressure; VCV, volume-controlled ventilation; PCV, pressure-controlled ventilation; I/E, inspiratory to expiratory time ratio; Fio2, inspired fraction of oxygen; e′co2, end-tidal CO2.
