kcl.ac.uk Objective: In a randomised trial, pressure support with synchronised intermittent mandatory ventilation (SIMV) compared to SIMV alone was associated with a significant reduction in ...

The efficacy of combining rate and pressure reduction during weaning by synchronous intermittent mandatory ventilation (SIMV) were compared with weaning by patient triggered ventilation (PTV) ...

Weaning with intermittent mandatory ventilation (IMV) or synchronized IMV (SIMV) occurs by reducing the ventilatory rate. With pressure-support (PS) ventilation, the inspiratory pressure is ...
