Proportional Pressure Support (PPS)
  • Date: Jul 22, 2025 12:00 PM Eastern
  • Speaker: Maria Madden MS, RRT-ACCS
Purpose/Objectives Add to Calendar

One of the major goals of mechanical ventilation is supporting patients with respiratory insufficiency. A major challenge to this goal is having good synchronization between the mechanical ventilator and the patient. Proportional ventilation might offer the best systems yet devised for assisting patients with respiratory insufficiency. This lecture will concentrate on the unique aspects of proportional ventilation as compared to other spontaneous modes.

Objectives
  1. Discuss the benefits of amplified breathing versus assisted breathing
  2. Review case studies of patients placed on proportional ventilation
  3. Review current literature on Proportional Pressure Support; as well as review PPS settings and alarms
