Summary

During assist control ventilation and pressure support ventilation (PSV), the start of ventilator inflation is determined by the start of the infant's inspiratory effort. During PSV, termination of inflation is determined by the level of the infant's inspiratory flow. In a randomized trial, no significant differences were found between assist control and pressure support ventilation with regard to the duration of weaning, time to successful extubation, work of breathing, rate of asynchrony and level of respiratory muscle strength.
