volume targeted ventilation

What are the Benefits of VTV?

1. Reduced Lung Injury: By maintaining consistent tidal volumes, VTV reduces the risk of volutrauma and atelectotrauma.
2. Improved Gas Exchange: Consistent tidal volumes lead to better alveolar ventilation and more stable gas exchange.
3. Prevention of Hypercapnia and Hypocapnia: VTV helps in maintaining appropriate levels of carbon dioxide, reducing the risks associated with both high and low levels.
4. Enhanced Respiratory Support: VTV is particularly beneficial for preterm infants who have underdeveloped lungs and are more susceptible to lung injury.
