1Pressure controlled intermittent mandatory ventilation — (PC IMV) is any mode of mechanical ventilation with preset inspiratory pressure (Pressure Control) and inspiratory time (Ti). Spontaneous breaths (i.e., inspiration is patient triggered and patient cycled) can exist between mandatory breaths… …
2Pressure Regulated Volume Control — (PRVC) is a ventilator mode where the breaths are delivered mandatorily to assure preset volumes, with a constant inspiratory pressure continuously adapting to the patient s condition. The flow pattern is decelerating. This mode is a form of… …
3Control valves — are valves used to control conditions such as flow, pressure, temperature, and liquid level by fully or partially opening or closing in response to signals received from controllers that compare a setpoint to a process variable whose value is… …
4Control of the National Grid — The National Grid is the high voltage electric power transmission network in Great Britain, connecting power stations and major substations, and has a synchronized organization such that electricity generated anywhere in Great Britain can be used …
5Control tower — The 109 meter tall control tower of Vienna International Airport, Austria. Inside the control tower at Misawa Air Base, Japan …
6Control of the National Grid (UK) — The National Grid (UK) is the high voltage electric power transmission network in Great Britain, connecting power stations and major substations to ensure that electricity generated anywhere in Great Britain can be used to satisfy demand… …
7Control rod — PWR control rod assembly, above fuel element A control rod is a rod made of chemical elements capable of absorbing many neutrons without fissioning themselves. They are used in nuclear reactors to control the rate of fission of uranium and… …
8assist-control mode — a mode of positive pressure ventilation in which the ventilator is in assist mode unless the patient s respiration rate falls below a certain amount, in which case the ventilator switches to a control mode. When the strength or rate of… …
9assist mode ventilation — positive pressure ventilation in which the ventilator is in assist mode (see under mode); cf. control mode v. and assist/control mode v …
10assist/control mode ventilation — positive pressure ventilation in the assist control mode (see under mode); if the spontaneous ventilation rate falls below a preset level, the ventilator enters the control mode …
