Question

What are the options for SIMV?

1) Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation
2) Assist Control
3) Pressure Support
4) Continuous Positive Airway Pressure

Answer 1

The options for SIMV are Assist Control, Pressure Support, and Continuous Positive Airway Pressure.

Step-by-step explanation:

The options for SIMV (Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation) are:

1. Assist Control: In this mode, the ventilator delivers a set tidal volume at the preset respiratory rate.
2. Pressure Support: In this mode, the ventilator provides inspiratory pressure support to assist with each breath.
3. Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP): This mode delivers a constant positive pressure throughout the breathing cycle to help keep the airways open.
