title: [Pressure support ventilation].
abstract: Assisted mechanical ventilation is highly useful in clinical practice and allows good interaction between the patient and ventilator. The major uses of this mode are to reduce the work of breathing in patients with intact spontaneous breathing and to provide additional support during weaning from mechanical ventilation, especially when this has been prolonged.
