11 Specifications and Theory of Operation
Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation, Pressure Control is
a mode in which a relatively slow mandatory breathing rate is set with
pressure-controlled breathing. This mode combines mandatory
breaths with spontaneous breath support. If a trigger event occurs
within the synchronization window, a new pressure-controlled breath
is initiated. If a trigger event occurs elsewhere during the expiratory
phase, a support for a spontaneous breath is provided with pressure
support added as set by the clinician.
