Description
The SIMV Rate setting is used in the SIMV ventilation modes, for
defining the minimum frequency of mandatory, ventilator-controlled
breaths. The mandatory breaths can be either triggered by an inspira-
tory effort from the patient, or ventilator-initiated. The SIMV Rate
setting determines the SIMV cycle time.
The combination of the SIMV Rate and Inspiratory Time setting is
limited by the I:E ratio 2:1.
