There are many modes of mechanical ventilation.[1] In medicine, mechanical ventilation is a method to mechanically assist or replace spontaneous breathing.

A breath by breath trigger, limit, cycling (TLC) classification of the common modes of ventilation. (V = ventilator; P = patient)[2]

Mode Trigger Limit Icycle Pcycle Servo
CMV (VCa, AC) V or P Flow Volume Time no
PCV or PCIRV V or P Pressure Time Time no
SIMV (volume cycled) V or P Flow Volume - no
SIMV (pressure limited) V or P Flow time - no
SIMV+PS (volume cycled) V or P Flow Volume - no
SIMV+PS (pressure limited) V or P Pressure Time - no
CPAP P Pressure Flow - no
CPAP+PS P Pressure Flow - no
BPAP 1 (CPAP+PS) P Pressure Flow - no
BPAP 2 (PCV) V or P Pressure Timed - no
BPAP 3 (CPAP) V Pressure Time - no
BPAP 4 (SIMV) V or P Pressure Time (IV) Flow (IP) - no
BPAP 5 (APRV) V or P Pressure Flow (IP) Time (IV) - no
APRV V or P Pressure Flow (IP) Time (IV) - no
IMPRV V or P Pressure Time - no
PRVC[2] V or P Pressure Time - Yes (VT)
Automode V or P Pressure Flow (IP) Time (IV) - Yes (VT)
Volume Support[2] P Pressure Flow - Yes (VT)
Minimum minute ventilation[2] P Pressure Flow - Yes (VE)
