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.
The applied pressure is turned oï¬ once. the ï¬ow decreases to a predetermined percentage. The tidal volume is dic-. tated by the pressure support given, patient eï¬ort and the lung compliance. There is no minimal rate, although there is a back-up apnea rate in most. modern ventilators. Volume-targeted (control) modes. Volume-targeted modes are the most commonly used and the most famil-. iar mode of mechanical ventilation. As its name implies, ââvolumeââ (ie, tidal. volume) is the ventilatorâs targeted parameter.
