2. Synchronized Intermittent Mandatoy Ventilation ( SIMV ) mode is a combined mode ( mandatory breath+spontaneous breath ( If the patient triggers the ventilator, a set tidal volume will not be delivered . i n this mode if the patient trigger a breath the full 500ml isn’t reached, this means the patient is responsible for the volume received during a spontaneous or a trigger breath. So if the patient wants a lower volume during their spontaneous efforts they will receive a lower volume.If the patient is taking good volumes during their spontaneous breaths, thi ng s may indicate that weaning might be possible.

3. Pressure support ventilation ( PSV ) is  a spontaneous mode of ventilation in which each breath is initiated by the patient but is supported by constant pressure inflation . This method has been shown to increase the efficiency of inspiration and decrease the work of breathing
