Explain the advantages of AC mode.
What will be an ideal response?
There are two primary advantages with the AC mode. First, the patient's work of breathing requirement in the AC is very small when the triggering sensitivity (pressure or flow) is set appropriately and the ventilator supplies an inspiratory flow that meets or exceeds the patient's inspiratory flow demand. The second advantage of AC is that if the patient has an appropriate ventilatory drive, this mode allows the patient to control the frequency and therefore the minute volume required to normalize the patient's PaCO2.
