title: New modes of mechanical ventilation.
abstract: Many new approaches to mechanical ventilation have been developed. This article discusses these new strategies and modes. These include lung protection conventional ventilation strategies, long inspiratory time strategies, pressure-targeted breath enhancements, airway pressure-related release ventilation, and proportional-assist ventilation.
