Hyperventilation
Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory
Ventilation (SIMV)
The ventilator provides the patient with a pre-set
number of breaths/minute at a specified tidal volume
and FiO2.
May be combined with other modes such as SIMV or used alone for a
spontaneously breathing patient.
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure
(CPAP)
Constant positive airway pressure during spontaneous
breathing
1- Flushed face
2- Dry cough
3- Dyspnea
4- Chest pain
5- Tightness of chest
6- Sore throat
Tidal Volume (VT)
The volume of air delivered to a patient during a breath.
For this reason, lower tidal volume targets (6 to 8 mL/kg) are now
recommended.
Peak Flow/ Flow Rate
The speed of delivering air per unit of time, and is
expressed in liters per minute.
