ventilation has been a marked improvement in neonatal ventilation. Various<br />
triggered ventilation modes have been developed <strong>for</strong> neonates: Synchronous<br />
Intermittent Mandatory <strong>Ventilation</strong> (SIMV), Assist/Control <strong>Ventilation</strong> (A/C),<br />
and more recently <strong>Pressure</strong> <strong>Support</strong> <strong>Ventilation</strong> (PSV). Among these, PSV<br />
gives the patient optimum liberty during ventilation. The patient decides<br />
over start of inspiration and start of expiration and there<strong>for</strong>e controls<br />
inspiration time, breathing frequency and minute volume. <strong>Pressure</strong> <strong>Support</strong><br />
<strong>Ventilation</strong> supports spontaneous breathing in a unique and harmonious<br />
way and is thus predestined to become the ventilation mode best suited to<br />
weaning patients off the ventilator also in neonatal respiratory care.<br />
Be<strong>for</strong>e focusing on PSV, we first have to look at all the other triggered<br />
ventilation modes and their characteristics.
