5.6.1.6. Synchronous intermittent mandatory ventilation with Pressure Control (SIMV-PC)
Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation -Pressure Control (SIMV-PC) mode is provided
by the ventilator or triggered by the patient. The device waits for the patient to try to breathe to
provide pressure-controlled ventilation synchronously according to the preset trigger window. If
there is no patient breathing, the device will start pressure-controlled ventilation at the end of the
trigger window time. Inspiration and expiration switch according to the set inspiratory time and
frequency. If the patient is breathing outside the trigger window, the device provides pressure
support ventilation, and the inspiratory and expiratory trigger sensitivity is switched by the patient
according to the set expiratory trigger sensitivity. The minimum minute ventilation of the patient is
provided by pressure-controlled ventilation.
