The Mandatory breath is defined by the basic
settings (as shown in the table above): Minute
Volume/Tidal Volume (depending on
configuration), PC above PEEP, I:E
ratio/Inspiration time (depending on
configuration), Pause time, Inspiratory rise time
and Breath cycle time.
In the Minute Volume configuration the Tidal
Volume is determined by Minute Volume
divided by SIMV rate.
The time for one SIMV cycle is 60 s divided
by the SIMV rate.
The Breath cycle time is the length of the
mandatory breath in seconds.
The time for the spontaneous period is the
SIMV cycle time subtracted by the breath
cycle time.
For example: A SIMV rate of 6, a breath cycle
time of 3 seconds with an I:E ratio of 1:2
means that the inspiration will take 1 second
and the expiration 2 seconds. The time
remaining for spontaneous breathing is 7
seconds.
