SIMV is designed to guarantee minimum ventilation frequency. Volume control ventilation or
pressure control ventilation in SIMV mode is delivered within the trigger window and is
delivered automatically at the end of the trigger window if not triggered within the trigger
window. Outside the trigger window, spontaneous breathing is supported.
