A comparison of volume control and pressure-regulated volume control ventilation in acute respiratory failure

Abstract: Background: The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that a new mode of ventilation (pressure-regulated volume control; PRVC) is associated with improvements in respiratory mechanics and outcome when compared with conventional volume control (VC) ventilation in patients with acute respiratory failure. We conducted a randomised, prospective, open, cross over trial on 44 patients with acute respiratory failure in the general intensive care unit of a university hospital. After a stabilization period of 8 … Show more

“…We noted a large percentage of patients in our study cohort were managed with APC ventilation, which is a dual-controlled ventilation wherein the ventilator attempts to achieve tidal volume using a pressure-limited delivery format at the lowest possible airway pressure. While this mode of ventilation may decrease peak inspiratory pressures, no evidence exists that APC improves outcomes [27]. It is possible some of the differences we observed may be confounded by varying management strategies at different ICUs, some of which use APC more than others.…”

“…This gives our study all its originality but on the other hand makes the discussion of the results difficult. Compared to VC mode, VC mode with regulated pressure is associated with lower inspiratory pressures 141718. In a randomized controlled trial evaluating AFVC mode in controlled ventilatory ventilation, this mode allowed fewer alarms by reducing inspiratory pressures 5.…”

“…The NDL was ventilated in PRVC mode,[ 4 ] a pressure controlled mode designed to provide the set target tidal volume at the lowest peak pressure. In none of the patients, the peak pressure during NDL exceeded 10 cmH 2 O.…”
