Automatic tube compensation.
Abstract
In this article automatic tube compensation (ATC) is described with respect to working principle, to technical realization, and to clinical experience. ATC, based on an indirect closed-loop working principle, compensates for the flow-dependent pressure drop across the tracheal tube during both inspiration and expiration. ATC reduces patient work of breathing, increases respiratory comfort, and allows prediction of successful extubation. ATC is not a stand-alone ventilatory mode, but rather a component of flow-proportional pressure support that can be combined with all conventional ventilatory modes.
