Hey folks, Scott Wangart here and this is the M Crit podcast.

In fact, this is the first podcast for the new year.

So happy new year if I haven't gotten to see you and see you in person.

All right, today we're talking about A VAPS average volume of short pressure support.

What the hell is that?

You should know.

It's a mode that maybe you tile for you when you have a patient with hypercapnic respiratory

failure.

And yet, my guess is you probably haven't heard of it.

I mean, I'm sure some of my ED critical care buddies have.

But most of you out there are like A VAPS, what the hell is that?

And yet, it is a very good mode for certain patient populations.

So that's what we're going to be talking about today.

And I'm joined with one of my former fellows, Alex Bracy, great guy, one of my buddies.

And we're going to have a good chat about A VAPS.

And then at the end, I'll talk about some of the papers and such like that.

All right, so let's roll right into it.

Now, if you're hearing this part, it means you're listening to the free version of this

podcast.

And I'm going to give you the full whole thing.

I'm not going to cut it off.

I really kind of hate that.
