#279 AVAPS Explained: Indications, Settings, Physiology & Clinical Applications
AVAPS Explained: Indications, Settings, Physiology & Clinical Applications Average Volume-Assured Pressure Support (AVAPS) is an advanced mode of noninvasive ventilation that combines pressure support ventilation with a target tidal volume. By automatically adjusting inspiratory pressure support to achieve a desired tidal volume, AVAPS can help provide more consistent ventilation in patients with acute and chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure. In this episode, we review the physiology behind AVAPS, discuss how it differs from traditional BPAP, and explore practical approaches to selecting…
