Abstract
Respiratory failure is a common reason for pediatric intensive care unit admission. The vast majority of children requiring mechanical ventilation can be supported with conventional mechanical ventilation (CMV) but certain cases with refractory hypoxemia or hypercapnia may require more advanced modes of ventilation. This paper discusses what we have learned about the use of advanced ventilator modes [e.g., high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV), high-frequency percussive ventilation (HFPV), high-frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) airway pressure release ventilation (APRV), and neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA)] from clinical, animal, and bench studies. The evidence supporting advanced ventilator modes is weak and consists of largely of single center case series, although a few RCTs have been performed. Animal and bench models illustrate the complexities of different modes and the challenges of applying these clinically. Some modes are proprietary to certain ventilators, are expensive, or may only be available at well-resourced centers. Future efforts should include large, multicenter observational, interventional, or adaptive design trials of different rescue modes (e.g., PROSpect trial), evaluate their use during ECMO, and should incorporate assessments through volumetric capnography, electric impedance tomography, and transpulmonary pressure measurements, along with precise reporting of ventilator parameters and physiologic variables.

Abstract
Introduction: Airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) is a mode of ventilation typically utilized as a rescue or alternative mode for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and hypoxemia that is refractory to conventional mechanical ventilation. APRV's indication and efficacy continue to remain unclear given lack of consensus amongst practitioners, inconsistent methodology for its use, and scarcity of convincing evidence.Areas covered: This review discusses the history of APRV, how APRV works, rationales for its use, and its theoretical advantages and disadvantages. This is followed by a review of current available literature examining APRV's use in the intensive care unit, with further focus on its use in the pediatric intensive care unit.Expert opinion: APRV is a ventilation mode with theoretical risks and benefits. Appropriate study of APRV's clinical efficacy is difficult given a heterogeneous patient population and widely variable use of APRV between centers. Despite a paucity of definitive evidence in support of either mode, it is possible that the use of APRV will begin to outpace the use of high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) for the management of refractory hypoxemia as more attention is paid to benefits of spontaneous breathing and minimizing sedation. Furthermore, APRV's role during ECMO deserves further investigation.
