Abstract

This chapter describes the definition of a ventilator mode in terms of the basic variables of the mechanical respiratory cycle and the different breath types. Common ventilator modes are then divided into three main categories: the conventional modes being the oldest manually driven modes, to the more complex and technologically avid modes of adaptive and biphasic ventilation. Examples of different subcategories are illustrated with key differences highlighted.

Finally, more recent supported modes of spontaneous breathing known as proportional ventilation modes are presented with particular emphasis on proportional assist ventilation (PAV) and neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA).
