Time triggered means that there are ventilator-initiated breaths.Patient triggered means that the patient is allowed to do the work to trigger a ventilator breath.Each breath is ended by a set inspiratory time.This is the description of the pressure-controlled continuous mandatory ventilation mode.All pressure-support ventilation breaths are patient triggered and flow cycled.Pressure-controlled intermittent mandatory ventilation breaths allow spontaneous breaths between ventilator breaths,and those breaths are flow cycled.Dual control continuous mandatory ventilation is a dual control mode of ventilation in which the breath may start out as pressure-limited but switch to volume-limited if the volume setting is not reached.
