pressure controlled ventilation


pres·sure con·trolled ven·ti·la·tion

(presh'ŭr kŏn-trōld' ven'ti-lā'shŭn) A mode of mechanical ventilation in which the ventilator delivers a preset pressure waveform; the resultant tidal volume and inspiratory flow depend on the shape of the pressure waveform and respiratory system resistance and compliance.
