Abstract
A breath is defined as a cycle of gas flow into and out of the lungs. A breath has 4 phases: initiation of inspiration, inspiratory phase with gas flow into the lung, termination of inspiration and inititating expiration, and exhalation with gas flow out of the lungs. The variables initiating inspiration and expiration are called trigger and cycling, respectively. A mode of ventilation is defined as a specifc pattern of breath pattern, breath sequence and feedback control. Patient-ventilator interaction refers to the complex interplay of spontaneous breathing with mechanical breaths. Described are common as well as some alternate modes of ventilation.
