8 Airway Pressure Release Ventilation APRV-BILEVEL SIMV CPAP is transiently decreased or released to a lower level during expiration. Advantages 1. Lower Paw for a given V T 2. Lower V E, i.e., less dead space 3. Limited adverse effects on cardiac function 4. Spontaneous breathing 5. Decreased sedation Potential Disadvantages 1. Volumes change with changes in compliance and resistance 2. New technology 3. Limited access to technology 4. Limited research and clinical experience
