P(A)Cv Mode - Assisted Pressure-Controlled Ventilation - ResMed Astral Series Clinical Manual

(A)CV breath pattern showing one patient triggered breath amongst time triggered breaths, with
inspiratory duration defined by Ti. The patient-triggered breath re-schedules the next time-triggered
breath.

P(A)CV mode - Assisted pressure-controlled ventilation

P(A)CV is a pressure target ventilation mode delivering pressure-controlled mandatory breaths:
-
Inspiration can either be initiated by the ventilator at a set respiratory rate (time-triggered breath)
or the patient (spontaneous-triggered breath). Spontaneous-triggered breaths re-schedule the
next time-triggered breath. Both Trigger and Resp. rate can be set to Off, but not at the same
time. When Trigger is set to Off, the mode name will be shown on the Information bar as PCV.
-
End of inspiration (switch from inspiration to expiration) is controlled by the ventilator (time-cycled
breath).
