Intermittent mandatory ventilation (IMV), as described in the literature, utilizes an air-oxygen blender and a compressed air source. When older ventilators are used and in locations in which compressed air sources are unavailable, other arrangements must be made if IMV is to be used. An arrangement is described in which a bird Mark 7 respirator, after the removal of its pneumatic clutch, is inserted into the IMV assembly. Such an arrangement produces wide FIO2 ranges and high flows and obviates the need for an oxygen blender and compressed air source. If a compressed air source is available or if a bird Mark 7 respirator is not available for use, othe arrangements may be more satisfactory.
如文献所述，间歇强制通气（IMV）使用空气-氧气混合器和压缩空气源。当使用较旧的呼吸机且在没有压缩空气源的地方时，如果要使用IMV，就必须做出其他安排。本文描述了一种安排，即把一台去掉气动离合器的鸟牌Mark 7型呼吸机插入IMV组件中。这样的安排可产生较宽的吸入氧分数范围和高流量，并且无需氧气混合器和压缩空气源。如果有压缩空气源可用，或者没有鸟牌Mark 7型呼吸机可供使用，其他安排可能会更令人满意。
