What are the advantages of Pressure Controlled Ventilation?
PCV offers several advantages in pediatric care:
- Lung Protection: By limiting peak inspiratory pressures, PCV helps in reducing the risk of barotrauma and volutrauma. - Controlled Oxygenation: It allows for better control over oxygenation and ventilation parameters. - Adaptability: PCV can adapt to changes in the patient's lung mechanics more effectively than VCV. - Comfort: It can be more comfortable for the patient, reducing the need for sedation.
