Instructions and help about Pressure Controlled Inverse Ratio

a ventilator mode is a way of describing how the  mechanical ventilator assists the patient with   inspiration the characteristics of a  particular mode control how the ventilator   functions understanding each of the different  modes is one of the most important aspects of   mechanical ventilation and one mode that we  need to discuss is inverse ratio ventilation   so if you're ready let's get into it inverse ratio ventilation is a mode that uses  an inverse ie ratio to improve oxygenation   and gas exchange it's been shown to decrease  shunting improve eq mismatching and decrease   dead space ventilation that is why this mode  is commonly recommended for patients with acute   respiratory distress syndrome or ards the ie  ratio in conventional mechanical ventilation   typically ranges from 1 to 1.5 to 1 to 3. an ie  ratio in this range is meant to resemble that   of spontaneous breathing however during inverse  ratio ventilation the inspiratory time becomes
