Guidelines on setting the target minute ventilation in Adaptive Support Ventilation

Adaptive Support Ventilation (ASV) is a fully closed loop ventilation where the operator input desired PEEP, FiO2 and target minute (MV) expressed as percentage according to ideal body weight. The ventilator selects respiratory pattern (tidal volume, rate, inspiratory time) based on observed mechanics. However, there are no published guidelines settings adjusting MV in different disease states during ASV ventilation. INTELLiVENT-ASV, new generation modified algorithm of ASV, has made this issue much easier simpler inputs range end tidal exhaled carbon dioxide, oxygen saturation will adjust well PEEP automatically stay within that range. In article we describe some evidence-based how set various clinical conditions. Keywords: Closed ventilation, End CO2, ARDS, COPD, Respiratory failure
