Critical Care Scenarios

CHAPTER

Automatic Tube Compensation in Ventilated Patients

The chapter explores the use of automatic tube compensation (ATC) in ventilated patients and how it addresses resistance in the endotracheal tube but not overall air resistance. It discusses the benefits and limitations of using ATC for patients with high airway resistance due to respiratory conditions like bronchospasm, asthma, or COPD, emphasizing the importance of closely monitoring patient responses. Additionally, the chapter touches on the challenges in implementing ATC across different ventilator devices and the potential benefits of combining ATC with proportional assist ventilation.
