Transcription of Airway Pressure Release Ventilation: Theory and …
{{id}} {{{paragraph}}}
Airway Pressure Release ventilation (APRV) is a relatively new mode ofventilation, that only becamecommercially available in the UnitedStates in the mid-1990s. Airway pressurerelease ventilation produces tidalventilation using a method that differsfrom any other mode. It uses a Release ofairway Pressure from an elevatedbaseline to simulate expiration. Theelevated baseline facilitates oxygenation,and the timed releases aid in carbondioxide of APRV include lowerairway pressures, lower minuteventilation, minimal adverse effects oncardio-circulatory function, ability tospontaneously breathe throughout theentire ventilatory cycle, decreasedsedation use, and near elimination ofneuromuscular blockade.
