Ventilation modes. This device offers a fully featured inten-
sive care ventilator and uses conventional volume- and pres-
sure-controlled and spontaneous modes, plus other advanced
modes. The three conventional modes include:
• (S)CMV+ and SIMV+, delivered by an adaptive volume con-
troller, combine the attributes of pressure-controlled with
volume-targeted ventilation.
• P-CMV and P-SIMV are conventional pressure-controlled
modes.
• SPONT is a conventional pressure-controlled mode.
The advanced modes include:
•ASV
®
(adaptive support ventilation) ensures the patient
receives selected minute ventilation with the optimal breath
pattern (lowest pressure and volume, optimal rate to mini-
mize work of breathing and intrinsic PEEP).
