Time-cycled inverse ratio ventilation

Inverse ratio ventilation. PEEP in disguise?

AARC (American Association for Respiratory Care) clinical practice guideline. Neonatal time-triggered, pressure-limited, time-cycled mechanical ventilation.

Pressure-controlled inverse ratio ventilation as a rescue therapy for severe acute respiratory distress syndrome

PURPOSE Low tidal volume ventilation improves the outcomes of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). However, no studies have investigated the use of a rescue therapy involving mechanical ventilation when low tidal volume ventilation cannot maintain homeostasis. Inverse ratio ventilation (IRV) is one candidate for such rescue therapy, but the roles and effects of IRV as a rescue therapy re...

Effects of inverse-ratio ventilation on cardiorespiratory measurements in severe respiratory failure.

Increased blood pressure during inverse ratio ventilation in two patients with adult respiratory distress syndrome.

Inverse ratio ventilation (IRV) is increasingly used in the supportive treatment of patients with hypoxemic respiratory failure. A recent study suggests that IRV reduces cardiac output with minimal effect on mean arterial pressure. We report two cases in which IRV led to reproducible increases in mean arterial pressure. Concomitant hemodynamic measurements suggest that these responses occurred ...
