    The document discusses the difference between volume ventilation and pressure ventilation in clinical settings. It notes that volume ventilation, which controls tidal volume and calculates minute ventilation, is generally more beneficial than pressure ventilation as it ensures enough carbon dioxide is exhaled.

    Volume versus pressure


    Why volume ventilation Pressure Volume
    and not pressure
    ventilation?

    Key:
    amount of
    CO2 exhaled

    Minute ventilation RR = 14 breaths/min RR = 14 breaths/min


    VT x RR VT = ? VT = 600 mL

    Minute ventilation Minute ventilation


    Note
    Some people will still benefit from pressure, = VT x 14 breaths/min = 0.6 L x 14 breaths/min
    but more will benefit from volume ventilation.
    =? = 8.4 L/min

    We can‘t calculate minute We can calculate minute ventilation


    ventilation without VT! to ensure enough CO2 is exhaled.
