Pressure support is a pressure-targeted mode of ventilatory support. Each inspiratory effort by the patient is augmented by an elevation in the airway pressure at the onset of an inspiratory effort.
The pressure support level should be titrated to increase the patient's spontaneous tidal volume and decrease the patient's respiratory rate. This level of pressure support should achieve a target tidal volume, which is â¤ 6-8 cc/kg to minimize the risk of volutrauma. References.
