Mechanical Ventilation - Modes (AC vs SIMV)

Welcome back to another episode of the New Grad Radio podcast!

Let's continue on with another episode on Mechanical Ventilation.

As I mention in the episode, there are two broad concepts when considering modes - do we have full control and not wanting the patient to breath for themselves; or is that the intention, to allow the patient to take spontaneous breaths, and even take all breaths for themselves?

Today's episode describes the modes used for patients who are not breathing for themselves; whilst the next episode features modes when the goal IS for the patient to take their own breaths.
