Harvest the cucumbers when young. Slicing cucumbers should be about 6 to 8 inches (15.24 to 20.32 cm) long. Cucumbers can usually be twisted off the vine without the use of shears. Pickling cucumbers should be harvested at 2 inches (5 cm) and dills should be harvested at 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15.24 cm).
Assist-Control Ventilation (ACV) Also known as continuous mandatory ventilation (CMV). Each breath is either an assist or control breath, but they are all of the same volume. The larger the volume, the more expiratory time required. If the I:E ratio is less than 1:2, progressive hyperinflation may result.
Pressure support ventilation (PSV or PS) This is a type of spontaneous breath that can be used in either CPAP or SIMV modes and targets a set inspiratory pressure, much like PC. But the PS inspiration ends as the lung gets full and the delivered flow decreases to a specific valve set by the clinician.
