    AbstractAdaptive Support Ventilation is a novel ventilation mode, a closed-loop control mode that may switch automatically from a PCV-like behaviour to an SIMV-like or PSV-like behaviour, according to the patient status. The operating principles are based on pressure-controlled SIMV with pressure levels and SIMV rate automatically adjusted according to measured lung mechanics at each breath. ASV provided a safe and effective ventilation in patients with normal lungs, restrective or obstructive diseases. In cardiac surgery tracheal extrubation was faster in ASV patients then in controls. In the early weaning phase of acute ventilatory insufficiency the need of resetting ventilator parameters was decreased, suggesting potential benefit for patient care.
