We're back! In this episode, we discuss ventilator modes, specifically focusing on pressure regulated volume control (PRVC). We explain the basics of PRVC and how it differs from other modes. We also discuss the challenges of classifying ventilator modes and the importance of understanding the patient's needs and disease process when selecting a mode. We provide strategies for managing air hungry patients and offer tips for adjusting settings on different ventilator models. We also want to emphasize the need for individualized care and monitoring of patient response.
Takeaways
- Understanding the basics of PRVC and how it differs from other ventilator modes
- Considering the patient's needs and disease process when selecting a mode
- Strategies for managing air hungry patients and adjusting settings on different ventilator models
- The importance of individualized care and monitoring patient response

Send a text...we would love to hear from you!
In this episode, we reflect on our podcast journey over the last year and the global reach of our show. We discuss the importance of training and knowledge in using ventilators effectively. We recap the basic ventilator settings and emphasize the need to monitor and meet the patient's needs as well. We engage in a slight debate about SIMV vs. AC mode and discuss the increasing use of non-invasive ventilation in transports. We also highlight the new definitions in ARDS classification and express our commitment to research and evidence-based practice. We want to conclude this episode by encouraging listeners to engage with them and stay updated on their future episodes.
