ASV (Adaptive Support Ventilation)
Adaptive Support Ventilation (ASV) is a modern mechanical ventilation technique used in hospitals to assist patients who have trouble breathing. It automatically adjusts the amount of air delivered based on the patient's needs, ensuring they receive enough oxygen while minimizing the risk of lung injury. ASV monitors the patient’s breathing patterns and adjusts the support level, providing assistance in a way that feels more natural. This adaptability helps maintain effective ventilation while promoting patient comfort and recovery, making it a valuable tool in critical care settings.
