Can ACV mode bring Bronchospasm, if used for long ?
Mom has been in the vent since mid February. For last 2 months or more, she has been in ACV mode. Earlier she was in V-SIMV & PACV modes.
Active settings
For about a month or more, she has been experiencing Bronchospasm. She feels like having trouble breathing, but her 02 saturation remains mostly OK (90%+ most of the time ). And she becomes normal in 5-10 mins later. Often feels better, if we use the dolphin shaped vibrator on her back or do some massage.
Stats during such Bronchospasm:
Should I change vent mode to V-SIMV?
I mean, would V-SIMV solve the brnchospasm issue?
