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.
Jet ventilation, gas exchange. Definition. Jet ventilation can be performed via either high or low frequency means. High frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) is accomplished with specialized ventilators capable of producing the high pressure, low volume breaths necessary. Low frequency jet ventilation (LFJV), however, is usually accomplished with a manually triggered hand-held device.
