Abstract: An improved patient ventilator for providing a mode of operation wherein mandatory breaths are supplied to a patient intermittently, and wherein those mandatory breaths are synchronized with the patient's normal breathing cycle. An adjustable timer provides an output signal for controlling the duration between mandatory breaths, and a delay circuit prevents the output signal from the timer from initiating the mandatory breath for a predetermined delay period to permit the patient to initiate that breath himself. The intermittent mandatory breaths are made "mandatory" by closing off an exhalation valve while a fixed quantity or pressure level of oxygen is supplied to the patient.
