Over the course of 6 weeks, a before-and-after trial design of adaptive pressure control and assist volume control will be conducted. Pre-trial planning phase: study protocols will be reviewed with key stakeholders (respiratory therapy providers and medical teams) Weeks 1-2: data will be collected on our current adaptive pressure control ventilator protocol. Week 3: The investigators will implement an assist volume control protocol. . Patients already on mechanical ventilation will be converted to assist volume control; however, these patients will not be included in the primary analysis.In accordance with the Consolidated Framework For Implementation Research (CFIR) approach, after 1 week of assist volume control the investigators will engage in quantitative and qualitative feedback with care providers to identify facilitators and barriers of assist volume control implementation. Week 4-6: If the investigators identify substantial barriers, the investigators will pause and alter the protocol. If not, the investigators will continue assist volume control for an additional 2 weeks.
