AB Mechanical  ventilation  can  be  delivered  with  two  extreme  approaches:  (a)  by  dictating  a  flow,  volume,  pressure,  or  respiratory  timing  (or  some  combination),  or  (b)  by  delivering  assistance  synchronized  to  and  regulated  by  the  patient’s  neural  breathing  efforts.  Whereas  the  former  approach  is  advantageous  in  patients  who  do  not  breathe,  the  latter  approach  is  advantageous  in  spontaneously  breathing  patients.
