Volume versus pressure control

After selecting the ventilator mode for your patient, you need to be able to answer this question: should you select volume ventilation or pressure ventilation? In this video from our Mechanical Ventilation Essentials course, you'll understand why volume control is the initial breath type of ventilation and how to manage this in the clinical environment.

📚Join our Mechanical Ventilation Essentials course now! 📚

In this course, we'll teach you everything you need to know about mechanical ventilation during your first night in the ICU, how to make initial adjustments in a newly intubated patient, how to fine-tune the ventilator settings to manage patients with restrictive or obstructive respiratory disease, and how to get your patient ready for extubation. We'll take you from respiratory rookie to rockstar!

Fabulously presented! Thank you so much.

This video is really helpful....keep in what you doing 👍😊😊😊

do you have a video focusing on pressure control?

Height is 185 cm and Weight is 85 Kg, how do you can to conclusion that patient will require 8.40 L / minutes? Could you please explain ?

Can we determine how much tidal volume we deliver during PCV?

Yes we can, meaning we can still calculate the Minuet Ventilation. Not

So, that reason that PCV- VG was invented. Volume granted, or granted volume with pcv benefits. For planned elective surgery, I prefer PCV- VG mode for good lung protection, less changes in capnometry, normocarby, higher adoptation, less overload to heart. Is neurosurgery, including emergency neurosurgery, general surgery, vascular surgery, maxillofascial surgery, oftalmology, otolaringology, urology. For thoracical surgery, with one lung vent, for emergency surgery is better VCV. Simple. Controlable. All reliable. When lung is compromised on the different reason. When you must ventilate at any cost, ICU fix consequences after you if need, your choose is VCV. But not forget. For proper gas diffusion volume is not enough.

This guy's making cotton mouth noises XD
Not hating though, this helped a ton :)

Can you determine pressure from formula PV=nRT?

[rosalilablau]

This is so wrong. In the 1990s you did volume controlled ventilation. nowadays you should do pressure controlled ventilation beacause of the damage you can do to the lungs.
