This mode may be useful in situations in which the lungs need to be recruited (reinflated) and held open.

Blood clots can occur during air travel, although the absolute risk is low. People with hypercoagulable conditions are at greater risk and may need prophylaxis.

At least 16 trials have been done in which patients were randomly assigned different blood pressure goals. Surprisingly, they did not show that a lower target offered significant clinical benefit, and they suggest the potential for harm.
