Closed Loop Mechanical Ventilation and ECMO

Closed loop ventilation mode (Intellivent-ASV+®). Intellivent-ASV+® was initiated by activating the controllers for minute volume, PEEP (range 5 to 18 cmH2O) and fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) (range 21 to 100 %). The target shift ranges for CO2-management were set between -2.5 and +2.5 kPa, and for O2-management between -2 and +2 %.

Mechanical ventilation with a conventional mode, usually either biphasic positive airway pressure ventilation (DuoPAP®) or adaptive support ventilation (ASV®)
