30. Proportional Assist Ventilation (PAV)
Changing pressure support based on patient’s efforts
Pressure
Time
Flow
Time
Rregulates the pressure output of the ventilator moment by moment in accord with the patient’s demands for flow and volume.
Thus, when the patient wants more, (s)he gets more help; when less, (s)he gets less. The timing and power synchrony are therefore nearly optimal—at least in concept.

31. Proportional Assist Amplifies Muscular Effort
Muscular effort (Pmus) and
airway pressure assistance
(Paw) are better matched for Proportional Assist (PAV) than for Pressure Support (PSV).

42. Dual Control Breath-to-Breath adaptive support ventilation

43. ASV (Adaptive Support Ventilation)
A dual control mode that uses pressure ventilation (both PC and PSV) to maintain a set minimum E (volume target) using the least required settings for minimal WOB depending on the patient’s condition and effort
It automatically adapts to patient demand by increasing or decreasing support, depending on the patient’s elastic and resistive loads

44. ASV (Adaptive Support Ventilation)
The clinician enters the patient’s IBW, which allows the ventilator’s algorithm to choose a required E. The ventilator then delivers 100 mL/min/kg.
A series of test breaths measures the system C, resistance and auto-PEEP
If no spontaneous effort occurs, the ventilator determines the appropriate respiratory rate, VT, and pressure limit delivered for the mandatory breaths
I:E ratio and TI of the mandatory breaths are continually being “optimized” by the ventilator to prevent auto-PEEP
If the patient begins having spontaneous breaths, the number of mandatory breaths decrease and the ventilator switches to PS at the same pressure level
Pressure limits for both mandatory and spontaneous breaths are always being automatically adjusted to meet the E target

The ventilator monitors the spontaneous MV
The part of the pre-selected MV that the patient is not able to accomplish is provided by the ventilator to make up the difference by automatically changing the breath rate
