Pressure Control - Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory

Ventilation (PC-SIMV) Mode

The Pressure Control – Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (PC-SIMV) mode provides Spontaneous, Assist, and Mandatory breaths. This mode uses a time window to decide what type of breaths should be delivered. This time window is the maximum time between breaths according to the set Breath Rate.

When you enter PC-SIMV mode, the time window is started. If the patient does not trigger a breath, the ventilator will provide a Mandatory breath when the time expires and then begin the process again. Mandatory breaths deliver the Pressure setting during inhalation and a lower Peak End Expiratory Pressure (PEEP)

during exhalation.
