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.
What is Adaptive Servo Ventilation (ASV)? Adaptive Servo Ventilation (ASV) â is a medical technology that utilizes positive airway pressure ventilatory support that is adjusted based on the detection of apneas, or pauses in breathing, during sleep. It is primarily used in the treatment of Central Sleep Apnea. It is also used for complex sleep apnea, mixed sleep apnea, periodic breathing â Cheyne â Stokes respirations. The device resembles CPAP machines (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) and uses the same masks, hoses, and attachments.
