Volume controlled intermittent mandatory ventilation — (VC IMV) refers to any mode of mechanical ventilation with preset tidal volume (VT) and inspiratory flow. Spontaneous breaths (i.e., inspiration is patient triggered and patient cycled) can exist between mandatory breaths. For intermittent… … Wikipedia
Pressure controlled intermittent mandatory ventilation — (PC IMV) is any mode of mechanical ventilation with preset inspiratory pressure (Pressure Control) and inspiratory time (Ti). Spontaneous breaths (i.e., inspiration is patient triggered and patient cycled) can exist between mandatory breaths… … Wikipedia
intermittent mandatory ventilation synchronized — (SIMV) positive pressure ventilation in which the patient breathes spontaneously while the ventilator delivers a positive pressure breath at intervals that are predetermined but synchronized with the patient s breathing … Medical dictionary
Volume controlled continuous mandatory ventilation — (VC CMV) is a mode of mechanical ventilation where breaths are delivered based on set variables. The patient may initate breaths by attempting to breathe. Once a breath is initated, either by the patient or by the ventilator the set tidal volume… … Wikipedia
Ventilation — The exchange of air between the lungs and the atmosphere so that oxygen can be exchanged for carbon dioxide in the alveoli (the tiny air sacs in the lungs). In pulmonary medicine, a distinction is made between pulmonary and alveolar ventilation.… … Medical dictionary
