RT Clinic: APRV start-up, management, and weaning

APRV - Airway Pressure Release Ventilation is a great mode to use when protecting the lungs from barotrauma during ARDS. APRV has been adopted by many facilities as a part of a lung protection protocol for mechanical ventilation. Early implementation is very important to the protection of lung tissue.
