From: Management and outcome of mechanically ventilated patients after cardiac arrest
Mode of ventilation and days of use per 1,000 days of invasive mechanical ventilation from 1998, 2004 and 2010. Days during weaning from mechanical ventilation process are excluded (light gray square symbol = 1998, black square symbol = 2004 and dark gray square symbol = 2010)*. SIMV, synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation; SIMV_PS, synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation with pressure support; PSV, pressure support ventilation; PCV, pressure control ventilation; PRVC, pressure regulated volume control ventilation; APRV, airway pressure release ventilation; BIPAP, biphasic positive airway pressure. *Among three years, days of use per 1,000 days of invasive mechanical ventilation in each mode of ventilation are statistically significant difference (P <0.001).
