Adaptive Support Ventilation

Adaptive Support Ventilation (ASV) is a smart type of mechanical breathing support used in critical care. It automatically adjusts the amount and timing of breaths it provides based on a patient's needs, helping them breathe comfortably without overexertion. ASV monitors factors like the patient’s lung compliance and breathing effort, then fine-tunes ventilation parameters in real-time to promote effective breathing and faster recovery. This personalized approach can improve patient comfort and reduce complications associated with mechanical ventilation.
