Breath Types and Therapy Modes
VentecLife.com 47
Vol. Targeted-SIMV Mode
Vol. Targeted-SIMV mode delivers volume targeted breaths through a passive or valveless circuit. When patient effort is
detected during a breath period, one assist breath will be delivered. Subsequent patient triggers within a breath period
will result in spontaneous breaths.
If patient effort is not detected during a breath period, V*Home will provide a mandatory pressure breath at the
beginning of the next breath period.
Both mandatory and assist breaths are delivered and adjusted to achieve the set Tidal Volume, over the set Inspiratory
Time. Spontaneous breaths are delivered at the set Pressure Support (above PEEP), and cycle with patient effort. When a
breath cycles, the pressure of the Ventec One-Circuit drops to the set PEEP.
