IMV (intermittent mandatory ventilation) mode allows the patient to breathe spontaneously between each mechanical breath. In this mode, the ventilator delivers a set number of breaths per minute, but the patient is free to take additional breaths as desired. This mode is useful for patients who are able to breathe on their own, but need additional support to maintain adequate ventilation.
