An assisted breath in the pressure controlled continuous mandatory ventilation (PC-CMV) mode can be described by which of the following?
a. Time triggered, pressure limited, time cy-cled
b. Patient triggered, pressure limited, time cycled
c. Time triggered, pressure limited, pressure cycled
d. Patient triggered, volume limited, volume cycled
ANS: B
An assisted breath is always patient triggered. In the pressure control or targeted mode the pres-sure set is the pressure limit and the inspiratory time setting ends inspiration (cycle). Therefore, the correct answer is patient triggered, pressure limited, time cycled. The time triggered, pressure limited, and time cycled breath is a mandatory breath in the pressure-controlled continuous man-datory ventilation (PC-CMV) mode. The time triggered, pressure limited, and pressure cycled breath describes an intermittent positive pressure breathing (IPPB)-type mandatory breath. The patient triggered, volume limited, and volume cycled is a mandatory breath in the vol-ume-controlled continuous mandatory ventilation (VC-CMV) mode.
