However, improperly set MV can cause an unintentional secondary ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) significantly increasing mortality.

TLow (Release Phase) in APRV Using the TCAV Method
The TLow setting when using the Time Controlled Adaptive Method (TCAV) of setting Airway Pressure Release Ventilation (APRV) is critical for maintaining alveolar stability. The TLow setting is not protocolized to set as a range of time(s) but should be personalized for each patient and their lung pathology and respiratory mechanics…
