Volume-support ventilation on the Maquet Servo 300 is purely assist mode and is basically a form of pressure-support ventilation except that the volume delivery is targeted over several breaths. Mandatory minute ventilation is a closed-loop form of volume-targeted or pres-sure-targeted ventilation used in patients who can perform part of the work of breathing and are progressing toward weaning from mechanical ventilation. Proportional assist ventilation is a method of assisting spontaneous ventilation in which the practitioner adjusts the amount of the work of breathing assumed by the ventilator.
