MEDUVENT Standard EN 127
10 Description of the modes
SIMV mode is used for volume-controlled ventilation at a fixed
mandatory minute volume. The patient can breathe spontaneously
between mandatory mechanical breaths, thereby increasing
minute volume. Ventilation can be individually adapted to the
patient with the aid of the inspiratory trigger. During spontaneous
breathing, the mandatory mechanical breath is synchronized with
the patient’s breathing. The mandatory minute volume and
mandatory respiratory rate remain unchanged in this instance. The
set maximum pressure limit (pMax) ensures the safety of the
patient.

Risk of hyperventilation!
When using S-IPPV mode, the CO
2
concentration in the patient's
blood might decrease and cause the patient serious or life-
threatening injury.
Monitor the patient continuously.
Risk of air trapping!
When using S-IPPV mode, air might get trapped in the patient's
lung and result in reduced gas exchange. This can cause serious
or life-threatening injury to the patient.
Monitor airway pressure continuously.
