Abstract
Volume control modes and active ventilator circuits on portable home care ventilators permit physiological varying of tidal volumes, facilitate communication by varying voice volumes, normalize cough flows, and permit active lung volume recruitment (LVR) by air stacking. None of this happens when supplemental O2 and low span bi-level positive airway pressure (PAP) are used instead of continuous noninvasive ventilatory support and mechanical insufflation-exsufflation.
