Volume Mode
Volume-controlled ventilation mode with fixed man-
datory tidal volume VT and frequency freq. (for-
merly IPPV), as well as with optional activation of
synchronization (formerly SIMV(VC)) and adjusta-
ble pressure support for spontaneous breathing
(formerly SIMV(VC)+PS, optional).
The respiratory cycle is defined through the fre-
quency freq., the inspiratory time T
INSP, the inspir-
atory pause time TIP:TINSP and the tidal volume VT.
Synchronization and pressure support are control-
led by the sensitivity of the flow trigger and the level
of
∆
PPS. The maximum time interval for controlled
ventilation is set via the frequency. To maintain a
constant frequency, a time interval triggered prema-
turely is compensated in the next cycle.
