<unk>  are one of the most important aspects of the usage of<unk>  ventilation. The<unk> refers to the method of inspiratory support. In general,<unk> selection is based on clinician familiarity and institutional preferences, since there is a paucity of evidence indicating that the<unk> affects clinical outcome. The most frequently used forms of volume-limited<unk>  ventilation are intermittent mandatory ventilation (IMV) and continuous mandatory ventilation (CMV). There have been substantial changes in the nomenclature of<unk>  ventilation over the years, but more recently it has become standardized by many respirology and pulmonology groups. Writing a<unk> is most proper in all capital letters with a dash between the control variable and the strategy (i.e. PC-IMV, or VC-MMV etc.).
