5.4.3 Patient Mode
The Vivo 45 LS can be operated in either Adult mode or Pediatric mode.
In Pediatric mode, some ventilator parameters, for example Breath Rate, Inspiratory
Time and Target Volume have special setting limits, in order to optimize the treatment
for pediatric patients. The settings and alarm limits of the Vivo 45 LS are reset to default
values when the patient mode is altered.
5.4.4 Ventilation and Breath Modes
The ventilation and breath modes are used for controlling the ventilation treatment with

mode.
The following combinations of ventilation and breath modes can be selected for the
Vivo 45 LS:
• PSV – Pressure Support Ventilation
• PSV(TgV) – Pressure Support Ventilation with Target Volume
• PCV – Pressure Controlled Ventilation
• PCV(TgV) – Pressure Controlled Ventilation with Target Volume
• PCV(A) – Assisted Pressure Controlled Ventilation
• PCV(A+TgV) – Assisted Pressure Controlled Ventilation with Target Volume
• PCV-SIMV – Pressure Controlled Ventilation with Synchronized Intermittent Man-
datory Ventilation
• PCV-MPV – Pressure Controlled Ventilation with MouthPiece Ventilation
• VCV – Volume Controlled Ventilation
• VCV(A) – Assisted Volume Controlled Ventilation
• VCV-SIMV – Volume Controlled Ventilation with Synchronized Intermittent Man-
datory Ventilation
• VCV-MPV – Volume Controlled Ventilation with MouthPiece Ventilation
• CPAP – Continuous Positive Airway Pressure
