The operator sets all the parameters of the volume and flow waveforms so the targeting scheme is set-point. Thus, the mode is classified as volume control continuous mandatory ventilation with set-point targeting (VC-CMVs). Mode Name: SIMV Volume Control Plus (Covidien PB 840): [citation needed]
Volume controlled ventilation is ventilation where both volume and flow are controlled by the ventilator. Normally, flow is set to a fixed amount, meaning volume increases linearly over time. Any mode that relies on flow to control inspiration falls under the VC- category.
Continuous mandatory ventilation (CMV) is a mode of mechanical ventilation in which breaths are delivered based on set variables. Still used in the operating room, in previous nomenclature, CMV referred to "controlled mechanical ventilation" ("control mode ventilation"), a mode of ventilation characterized by a ventilator that makes no effort to sense patient breathing effort.
Modes of mechanical ventilation has only had an established nomenclature since 2008. [1] It is suggested that the modes categorized under the following sections be referred to as their section header instead of their individual name, which is often a brand name instead of the preferred nomenclature.
Dual-control modes of ventilation are auto-regulated pressure-controlled modes of mechanical ventilation with a user-selected tidal volume target. The ventilator adjusts the pressure limit of the next breath as necessary according to the previous breath's measured exhaled tidal volume.
In assist control, one of those two variables will be controlled by the ventilator, either pressure or volume. Typically, in AC/CMV, it is volume. In AC/CMV, the ventilator will deliver a set volume whenever the patient triggers a breath. In contrast, pressure support delivers a set pressure for every triggered breath, rather than a set volume.
Mandatory minute ventilation is a volume control mode of ventilation and a derivative of intermittent mandatory ventilation. [1] Mandatory minute ventilation allows spontaneous breathing with automatic adjustments of mandatory ventilation to meet the patient’s preset minimum minute volume requirement.
