PRVC provides the advantages of pressure control ventilation with a constant tidal volume and minute ventilation.Pressure application is automatically reduced as the patient's condition or effort improves.Over a series of breaths the ventilator then determines the pressure required to maintain the desired tidal volume and minute ventilation.
