Which modes result in spontaneous supported breaths?

• A. PS and VS
• B. AC and PSV
• C. CPAP and APRV
• D. Synchronized and Assist Control

Answer: (A)

The choice indicating PS (Pressure Support) and VS (Volume Support) as modes that result in spontaneous supported breaths is correct due to the characteristics of these modes. In Pressure Support ventilation, the ventilator delivers a preset level of pressure during spontaneous breaths taken by the patient. This support aids in overcoming the resistance of the breathing apparatus and allows the patient to take breaths at their own pace while receiving assistance. Volume Support, on the other hand, combines the principles of pressure support with a volume target, allowing for spontaneous breathing with a guarantee of a specific tidal volume. This mode adjusts the pressure delivered based on the patient's needs, ensuring that breaths are supported and adequate ventilation is maintained. Both modes allow for spontaneous breaths, meaning that patients can initiate the breath themselves, benefiting from the support provided by the ventilator. This contrasts with the other options, which may not provide the same level of spontaneous support or are geared towards different objectives in ventilation.
