Understanding APRV (Airway Pressure Release Ventilation)

This podcast outlines Airway Pressure Release Ventilation (APRV), a mode of mechanical ventilation using two levels of positive airway pressure to improve lung function and encourage spontaneous breathing. It covers the clinical uses of APRV, mainly for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) ,and its contraindications. It explains how APRV works, details how to set and adjust the ventilator, and reviews the supporting evidence, benefits, risks, and practical considerations, including its impact on blood circulation and methods for weaning patients off ventilation.
