TY - JOUR AU - Piraino, Thomas AU - Fan, Eddy PY - 2018 TI - Airway pressure release ventilation in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome: not yet, we still need more data! JF - Journal of Thoracic Disease; Vol 10, No 2 (February 14, 2018): Journal of Thoracic Disease Y2 - 2018 KW - N2 - Airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) is a pressure-limited and time-cycled mode of mechanical ventilation that is without the need for patient-ventilator interaction. The original concept, first described by Downs and Stock in 1987, was to keep the patient at an elevated continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) pressure most of the time, with periodic releases to facilitate CO 2 clearance (1).
