11Modes of mechanical ventilation — Contents 1 Positive and negative pressure ventilation 1.1 Negative pressure ventilation 1.1.1 Types of negat …
12Mechanical ventilation — In architecture and climate control, mechanical or forced ventilation is the use of powered equipment, e.g. fans and blowers, to move air  see ventilation (architecture). Mechanical ventilation Intervention …
13Volume controlled continuous mandatory ventilation — (VC CMV) is a mode of mechanical ventilation where breaths are delivered based on set variables. The patient may initate breaths by attempting to breathe. Once a breath is initated, either by the patient or by the ventilator the set tidal volume… …
14Pressure 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… …
15Nomenclature of mechanical ventilation — Contents 1 Volume Controlled Continuous Mandatory Ventilation 1.1 Terms replaced by VC CMV 2 …
16Natural ventilation — The ventilation system of a regular earthship. Natural ventilation is the process of supplying and removing air through an indoor space without using mechanical systems. It refers to the flow of external air to an indoor space as a result of wind …
17Crankcase ventilation system — A crankcase ventilation system is a way for gases to escape in a controlled manner from the crankcase of an internal combustion engine. A common type of such system is a positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) system, the heart of which is a PCV… …
18Biphasic Cuirass Ventilation — (BCV) is a method of ventilation which requires the patient to wear an upper body shell or cuirass, so named after the body armour worn by medieval soldiers. The ventilation is biphasic because the cuirass is attached to a pump which actively… …
19Heat recovery ventilation — (also known as a heat exchanger, air exchanger or air to air exchanger) is a ventilation system that employs a counter flow heat exchanger between the inbound and outbound air flow. HRV provide fresh air and improved climate control, while also… …
20Volume controlled intermittent mandatory ventilation — (VC IMV) refers to any mode of mechanical ventilation with preset tidal volume (VT) and inspiratory flow. Spontaneous breaths (i.e., inspiration is patient triggered and patient cycled) can exist between mandatory breaths. For intermittent… …
