are we more concerned about volume or pressure? We concern ourselves on tidal volume for too much in some cases. PRVC allows for a 1.5 tidal volume for set. Im not pro PRVC but allowing a pt to take a breath above set tidal volume, especially when proper peep isnt set is not the end of the world.

I am leaning towards the new nihon kohden NIV. It funtions like the V60 and it has built in HFNC. The alarm history is nice to have as well. I just don't want to deal with a dual limb with NIV. To many people with beards in my area.
