He/she can breathe as much or as little as he wants beyond what the ventilator will breathe for him.

SIMV stands for synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation.

can say a more of control form of ventilation.

With the help of SIMV, we set the rate, set either volume or pressure, and add in pressure support.

The role of SIMV is that it provides additional inspiratory pressure which doesn't let the patient work hard and also enable better oxygenation and a speedy recovery.

using SIMV is not a piece of cake, this can be a challenge to understand, as it is usually a combination of control, assisted and spontaneous breaths and to check it requires skills.
