Volume Control Ventilation Therapy Modes
Volume Control ventilation modes deliver a prescribed inspired tidal
volume according to a set Breath Rate and a set Inspiratory Time.
Control Ventilation (CV) Mode
In Control Ventilation (CV) mode, the device delivers volume control
therapy. This mode provides only Mandatory breaths. A Mandatory
breath is delivered according to the prescribed BPM setting for the
prescribed Inspiratory Time. This also means that the ventilator
will not respond to patient eort. In this mode, the Tidal Volume is
delivered during inhalation and PEEP is delivered during exhalation.
The following illustration describes these concepts.
