How is ACV Different from Other Ventilation Modes?
ACV is different from other ventilation modes like CPAP and SIMV. In CPAP, continuous positive pressure is provided to keep the airways open, but it does not deliver breaths. In SIMV, the ventilator provides a set number of mandatory breaths and allows spontaneous breathing between these breaths without support. ACV, on the other hand, supports both mandatory and spontaneous breaths, ensuring each breath meets the preset parameters.
