ventilation rate
1Ventilation (architecture) — Ventilation is the intentional movement of air from outside a building to the inside. It is the V in HVAC. With clothes dryers, and combustion equipment such as water heaters, boilers, fireplaces, and wood stoves, their exhausts are often called… …
2Ventilation (physiology) — In respiratory physiology, ventilation (or ventilation rate) is the rate at which gas enters or leaves the lung. It is categorised under the following definitions: See also *Gas exchange *Fowler methodReferencesExternal links* *… …
3Ventilation — The exchange of air between the lungs and the atmosphere so that oxygen can be exchanged for carbon dioxide in the alveoli (the tiny air sacs in the lungs). In pulmonary medicine, a distinction is made between pulmonary and alveolar ventilation.… …
4Ventilation (firefighting) — In firefighting, ventilation refers to the tactic of creating a draft with an opening above or opposite the entry point so that heat and smoke will be released, permitting the firefighters to find and attack the fire. If a large fire is not… …
5Respiratory rate — The respiratory rate (aka respiration rate, pulmonary ventilation rate or ventilation rate) is the number of breaths a living being, such as a human, takes per minute.There is only limited research on monitoring respiratory rate, and these… …
6assist/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 …
7Mechanical 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 …
8Modes of mechanical ventilation — Contents 1 Positive and negative pressure ventilation 1.1 Negative pressure ventilation 1.1.1 Types of negat …
9Natural 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 …
10Pressure 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… …
