Jon-Emile S. Kenny MD [@heart_lung] In the previous segment, time constants [t] – and their limitations – were described as a lesson in applied respiratory physiology for setting T-Low and prediction of auto-PEEP in airway pressure release ventilation [APRV]. In this brief missive an alternative approach to titrating T-low is described and critiqued. As well, P-High is considered with respect the sub-types of APRV breaths as a prelude to spontaneous ventilation, mechanical power and ergo-trauma described in the final chapter of this APRV trilogy.
