how is the ventilator mode adaptive support ventilation or ASV beneficial in the operating room setting?

Question:

i want to know if it is necessary for operating rooms to have adaptive type of ventilation mode in post surgical patients.for example, during open-heart surgery.
Answers:
Well, in the 15000 cases I've done or taken part in, we hand bag the patients until we get to the ICU, or they're extubated in the PACU.

ASV has been discussed/used in all of our surgical units to some extent, however, and has it's uses, but can be completely absent, without mortality consequence. It is a convenience setting, to some extent.

Other Answers:
Its very nesessary.

When in surgery a patient stops breathing on thier own.

the ventilator breathes for them.

for post surgical patients, in sedation, the breathing is compromised. the ASV helps them breathe.
