Abstract:
Pressure support ventilation is used in intensive care units to improve patient-ventilator synchrony and facilitate weaning. An anesthesia machine that employs this mode of ventilation can now be used to allow smooth inductions, emergence, and maintenance of anesthesia while the patient is mechanically ventilated.
