Simulation results of adult normal, severe ARDS, and COPD. Data points are optimum values for tidal volume, tidal pressure, tidal power (solid lines), and inspiratory power (dashed lines) for various levels of Enghoff alveolar minute ventilation (MVA-E). The green area highlights the area which is normally used according to the work of Arnal. For COPD, ASV and MFV have similar results. For ARDS simulation scenario, the concept of AVM2 yields the lowest tidal volumes and the concept of ASV uses highest tidal volumes
