Abstract
The lungs of 25 patients were ventilared with intermittent mandatory ventilation (IMV) during anaesthesia using the Manley Servovent Model MS. This ventilatory mode is especially suitable for prolonged operations in which there is no need for muscle relaxation. While incorporating the advantages of spontaneous and mechanical ventilation, it is superior to both in selected cases. The Manley Servovent Model MS ventilator is capable of delivering IMV without modification, using a single source of gas.
