List Of Modes Of Mechanical Ventilation By Category
Modes of mechanical ventilation has only had an established nomenclature since 2008. It is suggested that the modes categorized under the following sections be referred to as their section header instead of their individual name, which is often a brand name instead of the preferred nomenclature. Volume controlled continuous mandatory ventilation * Volume controlled continuous mandatory ventilation (VC-CMV - formerly known as assist control) Volume controlled intermittent mandatory ventilation * Synchronized intermittent mechanical ventilation (SIMV) * Mandatory minute ventilation (MMV) Pressure controlled continuous mandatory ventilation * Pressure controlled continuous mandatory ventilation (PC-CMV) formerly known as simply pressure control ventilation. Pressure controlled intermittent mandatory ventilation * Airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) * Pressure regulated volume control (PRVC) * Proportional assist ventilation (PAV) * Adaptive support ventilation (ASV) C ...

Mechanical Ventilation
Mechanical ventilation, assisted ventilation or intermittent mandatory ventilation (IMV), is the medical term for using a machine called a ventilator to fully or partially provide artificial ventilation. Mechanical ventilation helps move air into and out of the lungs, with the main goal of helping the delivery of oxygen and removal of carbon dioxide. Mechanical ventilation is used for many reasons, including to protect the airway due to mechanical or neurologic cause, to ensure adequate oxygenation, or to remove excess carbon dioxide from the lungs. Various healthcare providers are involved with the use of mechanical ventilation and people who require ventilators are typically monitored in an intensive care unit. Mechanical ventilation is termed invasive if it involves an instrument to create an airway that is placed inside the trachea. This is done through an endotracheal tube or nasotracheal tube. For non-invasive ventilation in people who are conscious, face or nasal mask ...
