Is There a Way to Give Extra Breaths?

Modern s i m v ventilators essentially give you both a minimum respiritory rate, but also a maximum totally supported respitory. In those additional ten breadths, you can actually prescribe a level of pressure support to help offset the work of breathing. The machine might say, rita, you've programmed me so that i'm going to look omin to wait three seconds, and if the patient takes a breath, then i will give it.
