title: Pressure controlled inverse ratio ventilation in respiratory failure.
abstract: Since the earliest use of mechanical ventilation for respiratory insufficiency the search has been on for optimal ventilation attuned to different degrees of pulmonary involvement. Pressure controlled inverse ratio ventilation is a recently described ventilatory modality, in which the conventional inspiratory to expiratory ratio is reversed. This method of ventilation allows for stabilization of pulmonary units and diffusion of gases.
