B.3.2 P-SIMV mode
In the P-SIMV mode, the mandatory breaths are P-CMV
breaths (Section B). These can be alternated with SPONT
breaths. The settings active in the P-SIMV mode are shown
in Figure B-5.
The P-SIMV mode does not guarantee the delivery of an
adequate tidal volume at all times. When using this mode,
carefully monitor changes in the patient’s status.
