Abstract:Average volume‐assured pressure support (AVAPS) mode has been available since 2009 and allows the ventilator to deliver a constant pre‐set tidal volume by automatically adjusting the inspiratory pressures within a set range. Data in AVAPS mode use is limited in both paediatric populations, and in patients who are ventilated through a tracheostomy. This case series reports on the successful use of AVAPS mode in four paediatric patients with tracheostomy ventilation.
