Partial ventilatory support can be provided by which of the following ventilator modes?
1) Pressure Controlled Continuous Mandatory Ventilation (PC-CMV) set rate 8 breaths/minute
2) Volume Controlled Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (VC-SIMV) set rate 4 breaths/minute
3) Pressure Controlled Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (PC-SIMV) set rate 10 breaths/minute
4) VC- MMV set V_e8 L/minute

Continuous mandatory ventilation (CMV)is a full ventilatory support mode.Therefore,Pressure Controlled Continuous Mandatory Ventilation (PC-CMV)rate 8 breaths/minute is not partial ventilatory support.A ventilator rate setting of 8 breaths/minute or more is also considered full support.Therefore,even though Pressure Controlled Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (PC-SIMV)could be partial ventilatory support,it is full support because of the set rate of 10 breaths/minute.Volume Controlled Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (VC-SIMV)with a set rate of 4 breaths/minute is partial ventilatory support and MMV can be partial ventilatory support when the patient is participating in the work of breathing (WOB)to maintain effective alveolar ventilation.
