Airway Pressure Release Ventilation (APRV) | Quick Explainer Video
What is Airway Pressure Release Ventilation (APRV)? Watch this video for a quick explainer video on this topic.
💥Ventilator Modes [Full Guide] ➜ ➜ ➜ https://bit.ly/2Rtlgjo
➡️ APRV Overview
APRV stands for Airway Pressure Release Ventilation. It's a mode of mechanical ventilation in which two levels of continuous positive airway pressure are applied with an intermittent release phase for spontaneous breaths. This mode is often recommended to improve oxygenation and treat refractory hypoxemia. Since it has two levels of pressure, this mode is often confused with BiLevel. With that said, while very similar, they are technically two different operational modes of ventilation.
➡️ Indications for APRV:
- Acute Lung Injury (ALI)
- Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)
- Severe atelectasis
➡️ As I previously mentioned, this mode has two levels of pressure that must be set on the machine:
- High level
- Low level
Time-triggered mandatory breaths are delivered by the machine, however, the patient is allowed to take spontaneous breaths in between the mandatory breaths. Each mandatory breath is time-cycled by a preset inspiratory time.
➡️ So, on the machine, you will be able to set a:
- High inspiratory time
- Low inspiratory time
APRV is a pressure-limited mode, therefore, the patient's tidal volume will vary depending on their lung compliance and airway resistance. Because of this, as a Respiratory Therapist, you need to monitor the exhaled tidal volume in order to prevent hyperinflation. For this video, again, we just wanted to provide a quick overview of this mode of ventilation. If you would like for us to dive even deeper in a separate video, let us know down in the comments section below.
