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.
(vol'yÅ«m-kÅn-trÅld' ven'ti-lÄ'shÅ­n) A mode of mechanical ventilation in which the ventilator delivers a preset volume waveform; the resultant airway pressure waveform depends on the shape of the flow waveform and respiratory system resistance and compliance. volume-controlled ventilation.
