La ventilation assistée contrôlée: VAC. Lorsque un patient à une ventilation spontanée, le respirateur peut détecter pendant la phase d'expiration une inspiration et engager un cycle contrôlé avant que celle-ci n'en délivre un, imposé par la fréquence choisit par l'opérateur. La détection de l'inspiration nécessite le réglage du seuil d'un trigger [déclencheur] et une fréquence ayant une valeur inférieure à celle du patient. 1, record 1, French, - ventilation%20assist%C3%A9e%20contr%C3%B4l%C3%A9e
