Continuous mandatory ventilation
Continuous Mandatory Ventilation (kənˈtɪn.ju.əs ˈmæn.də.tɔː.ri vɛn.tɪˈleɪ.ʃən) is a mode of mechanical ventilation in which a ventilator machine provides breaths at a preset volume and rate. It is often used in critical care settings to support patients who are unable to breathe adequately on their own.
Etymology
