What are some physiological advantages of volume-assured pressure-supported ventilation?
1) Improved patient-ventilator synchrony
2) Increased pressure-time product
3) Decreased work of breathing
Boyle's Law
A gas law stating that the pressure of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume at a constant temperature.
Henry's Law
A gas law that states the amount of dissolved gas in a liquid is proportional to its partial pressure above the liquid, provided the temperature is constant.
Dalton's Law
A principle stating that in a mixture of non-reacting gases, the total pressure exerted is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases.
Thoracic Volume
Refers to the volume of the thoracic cavity, which affects respiratory function and is influenced by breathing.
