Pressure Control Ventilation (PCV)
In Pressure Control Ventilation, breaths may be controlled by the ventilator
(mandatory) or by the patient (spontaneous). When controlled by the ventilator,
breaths are pressure limited and time cycled, resulting in an operator set
(PRESSURE) pressure being delivered for an operator set (I-TIME) period of
time. Refer to Figure 7-2.
