SIMV

ICU ventilator settings were something I used to struggle with. Even keeping the names straight was tough for me sometimes, but I think I finally straightened them out! In this video we take a quick look at synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation, more commonly known as SIMV. We take a look at what this vent setting actually does for the patient, what we dial in and what we get out.

Thank you so, so much for watching! I hope they help! Please pass them on to anyone else you think may find useful!

If we set rate @ 12 and patient breathes 20 on his own, so the patient gets a total of 32 in SIMV (12 supported as well as 20 unsupported patient breasthes) ?

Very well explained. Thank you very much. ❤️

I love the explanation BUT what I need to understand is HOW do we determine a good Pressure Support setting? I’m a paramedic on an ambulance and intubated a pt and kept getting Pressure alarms, so how to a know where to start with PS setting? I’m having a hard time understanding the initial setting and RANGES for healthy PS and PIP.

So nice explain ..

[@calvinpax7810]

is spontaneous mode and simv the same?

[@stefanzekic3088]

i was learning Bipap (universal) and simv and i was a little bit confused with time limits in the Respirator for the phase to switch, id he doesnt breath for how long, when is the Respirator going to deliver another machine breath

[@Nabilphysics]

Could you please explain about Supported window and Synchronized window for SIMV?

[@LEARNING-MEDICAL-EDUCATION]

ARE U USING IPAD to write on the screen?

[@abigailbaipoledi1252]

between the simv and a/c mode,which one would you say is suitable to be used for copd and/or asthma patients?

[@SuperMario5912]

it really depends on the pt., probably can start off w/ AC and go to SIMV when trying to wean, I think what's really important when ventilating asthma and COPD pts. is monitoring auto-PEEP and using lung protective ventilation

[@ex577]

What is an adequate tidal volume for weaning?

[@CountBackwardsFrom10]

Hi! So that's a specific question that will differ depending on the patient, their medical comorbidities, and the practitioner taking care of them! I'm sorry I don't have a specific answer!

@@CountBackwardsFrom10 No I completely respect it, was just always curious watching the end of a case, seeing patients initiate breaths and wondered how that judgement was made of knowing the patient could safely breath on their own.
