What is Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (SIMV)?
Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (SIMV) is a type of mechanical ventilation that supports patients who are unable to breathe adequately on their own. SIMV allows the patient to breathe spontaneously between mandatory breaths set by the ventilator, thus facilitating a gradual transition from full ventilatory support to spontaneous breathing.
