How is the ventilator mode adaptive support ventilation or ASV beneficial in the operating room setting?


i want to know if it is necessary for operating rooms to have adaptive type of ventilation mode in post surgical patients.for example, during open-heart surgery.

Well, in the 15000 cases I've done or taken part in, we hand bag the patients until we get to the ICU, or they're extubated in the PACU.

ASV has been discussed/used in all of our surgical units to some extent, however, and has it's uses, but can be completely absent, without mortality consequence. It is a convenience setting, to some extent.

Its very nesessary.

When in surgery a patient stops breathing on thier own.

the ventilator breathes for them.

for post surgical patients, in sedation, the breathing is compromised. the ASV helps them breathe.
