V-SIMV
– Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation – Volume
Controlled Cycle
Description:
In this mode, the patient can breathe spontaneously between the
controlled cycles, with or without the use of pressure support. Controlled
cycles are VCV (Volume Controlled).
Note
•
This ventilation mode is not available for NEONATAL
patients (weight reported ≤6.0 kg).

Once all ventilation parameters are set on the ventilator, it calculates TEXP and FINS based on Inspiratory Time, Pause and Rate,
thus obtaining all ventilation control times.
1
Represents a VCV (volume controlled) cycle with inspiratory pause;
2
Represents a spontaneous breathing cycle of the patient WITHOUT PRESSURE SUPPORT;
3
Represents a VCV (volume controlled) cycle with SIMV Period elapsed;
