Adaptive Targeting Schemes

Adaptive targeting schemes use "a control system that allows the ventilator to automatically set some (or all) of the targets between breaths to achieve other preset targets" (Chatburn, 2012). Adaptive Pressure Control is most likely the most recognized and most used modality that uses a adaptive targeting scheme.

Servo Targeting Schemes

Ventilator modes that use Servo targeting schemes are very responsive and provide the most comfort and synchrony in the spontaneous breathing patient. Servo targeting is "a control system for which the output of the ventilator automatically follows a varying input. This means that the inspiratory pressure is proportional to inspiratory effort" (Chatburn, R.). 

The below videos give a brief description of Servo targeting schemes and ventilator modes that use Servo targeting schemes.
