APRV: A Game-Changer in Critical Care Ventilation In the intricate dance of breathing, maintaining optimal oxygenation and ventilation is paramount. APRV, or Airway Pressure Release Ventilation, is a mode of mechanical ventilation designed to achieve this delicate balance while minimizing ventilator-induced lung injury. Unlike conventional ventilation strategies, APRV employs a unique approach characterized by prolonged inspiratory time and brief …

APRV: A Game-Changer in Critical Care APRV, or Airway Pressure Release Ventilation, is a ventilation mode that offers a unique approach to managing respiratory distress in critically ill patients. Unlike traditional ventilation methods, APRV provides continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) while allowing for spontaneous breathing. This innovative technique involves two primary phases: the high-pressure phase (P high) and the low-pressure …
