Combined modes - An
overview
Automode
The ventilator continuously adapts to the
patient's breathing capability and allows the
patient to better interact with the ventilator.
The ventilator automatically shifts between
controlled ventilation, supported ventilation
and spontaneous ventilation. Each
controlled ventilation mode has a
corresponding support mode.
Volume Control <----> Volume Support
PRVC <----> Volume Support
Pressure Control <----> Pressure Support
When the patient is making a breathing
effort, the ventilator immediately switches to
a support mode of ventilation. If the patient is
not making any breathing effort, the
ventilator will return to the controlled mode
and deliver controlled breaths.
Synchronized intermittent
Mandatory ventilation (SIMV)
The ventilator provides mandatory breaths
which are synchronized with the patient´s
spontaneous efforts at a preset rate. The
mandatory breaths can be Volume Control,
Pressure Control or PRVC breaths.
Bi-Vent
Bi-Vent is pressure controlled breathing,
giving the patient the opportunity of
unrestricted spontaneous breathing. Two
pressure levels are set together with the
individually set duration of each level.
Spontaneous efforts can be assisted by
pressure support.
