Delivery of average assured pressure support (AVAPS) through tracheostomy in paediatric patients
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,...

Summary: | 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. |
