Background Synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation (SIMV) is commonly used in
infants and adults. However, few investigations have examined how SIMV reduces
respiratory workload in infants. The authors evaluated how infants' changing respiratory
patterns when reducing SIMV rate increased respiratory load. The authors also investigated
whether SIMV reduces infant respiratory workload in proportion to the rate of mandatory
breaths and which rate of SIMV provides respiratory workloads similar to those after tracheal …
