Abstract

Ventilators, or more precisely, the modes they deliver, can be classified by the variables that are controlled (e.g., pressure or volume), as well as those that start (or trigger), sustain (or limit), and end (cycle) inspiration and those that maintain the expiratory support (or baseline pressure). Microprocessor and sensor technology has increased the quality and quantity of ventilator output feedback available (Fig. 10.1). These advances in technology have led to several different targeting schemes that warrant further classification (Chap. 44).
