Jan 2, 2026 · Volume support (VS) is a pressure-regulated, spontaneous mode in which the ventilator adjusts inspiratory pressure from breath to breath to achieve a target tidal volume.

The principle of this mode is similar to that of pressure regulated volume control (PRVC). However, to use volume support, the patient must have an intact drive to breathe.

Volume support (VS) mode ventilation is a spontaneous mode where a target goal volume is set on the ventilator. This ventilatory strategy is dependent on patients spontaneously breathing and triggering …

Every inspiratory effort by the patient on the PEEP level that meets the trigger criteria triggers a volume-supported breath. By setting the trigger level, the patient’s inspiratory efforts are synchronized.

Peng W, Zhu H, Shi H, Liu E. Volume-targeted ventilation is more suitable than pressure-limited ventilation for preterm infants: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Volume Assured Pressure Support (VAPS) is described as a dual control mode within a breath, and may also be called Pressure Augmentation depending on the ventilator.

Dec 15, 2021 · Volume attenuation and gain are performed by the APO software volume support component. For information about the volume ranges and the default volume levels for the different …

Volume Support is a spontaneous breathing mode. The patient initiates the breath and the ventilator delivers support in proportion to the inspiratory effort and the target volume. The inspiratory flow will …

With dual-control modes, the ventilator can automatically switch between pressure control and volume control during a single breath. However, it is important to remember that the ventilator is controlling …

In the volume support mode, the operator can set a target tidal volume, but not a mandatory rate or inspiratory time.
