  • Airway Pressures and Volutrauma
    Airway Pressures and Volutrauma Airway Pressures and Volutrauma: Is Measuring Tracheal Pressure Worth the Hassle? Monitoring airway pressures during mechanical ventilation is a standard of care.1 Sequential recording of airway pressures not only provides information regarding changes in pulmonary impedance but also allows safety parameters to be set. Safety parameters include high- and low-pressure alarms during positive pressure breaths and disconnect alarms. These standards are, of course, based on our experience with volume control ventilation in adults. During pressure control ventilation, monitoring airway pressures remains important, but volume monitoring and alarms are also required. Airway pressures and work of breathing are also important components of derived variables, including airway resistance, static compliance, dynamic compliance, and intrinsic positive end-expiratory pressure (auto-PEEP), measured at the bedside.2 The requisite pressures for these variables include peak inspiratory pressure, inspiratory plateau pressure, expiratory plateau pressure, and change in airway pressure within a breath. Plateau pressures should be measured at periods of zero flow during both volume control and pressure control ventilation. Change in airway pressure should be measured relative to change in volume delivery to the lung (pressure-volume loop) to elucidate work of breathing. See the related study on Page 1179. Evidence that mechanical ventilation can cause and exacerbate acute lung injury has been steadily mounting.3-5 While most of this evidence has originated from laboratory animal studies, recent clinical reports appear to support this concept.6,7 Traditionally, ventilator-induced lung injury brings to mind the clinical picture of tension pneumothorax. Barotrauma (from the root word baro, which means pressure) is typically associated with excessive airway pressures.

Indications for Use The SensorMedics 3100B is indicated for use in the ventilatory support and treatment of selected patients 35 kilograms and greater with acute respiratory failure. III. Contraindications This Model 3100B has no specific contraindications. IV. Device Description The Model 3100B consists of six subsystems, and is used with an external air/oxygen blender and an external humidifier. The six subsystems are: (1) pneumatic logic and control; (2) patient circuit; (3) oscillator subsystem; (4) airway pressure monitor; (5) electronic control and alarm subsystem; and (6) electrical power supply. During use with a patient in acute respiratory failure, the Model 3100B maintains a positive mean airway pressure, upon which pressure oscillations are superimposed at a rate between approximately 3 and 15 per second. The pressure oscillations achieve ventilation of the patient. Page 1 of 15 Pneumatic Logic and Control The pneumatic logic and control subsystem receives pressurized, blended gas from the external air/oxygen blender. The subsystem includes three controls: 1. A bias flow control sets the continuous rate at which the blended gas flows from the external blender, through the bias flow tube and the patient circuit, and past the tracheal tube connection port. The bias flow can be set as high as 60 L/min.

  • The Future of Mechanical Ventilation: Lessons from the Present and the Past Luciano Gattinoni1*, John J
    Gattinoni et al. Critical Care (2017) 21:183 DOI 10.1186/s13054-017-1750-x REVIEW Open Access The future of mechanical ventilation: lessons from the present and the past Luciano Gattinoni1*, John J. Marini2, Francesca Collino1, Giorgia Maiolo1, Francesca Rapetti1, Tommaso Tonetti1, Francesco Vasques1 and Michael Quintel1 Abstract The adverse effects of mechanical ventilation in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) arise from two main causes: unphysiological increases of transpulmonary pressure and unphysiological increases/decreases of pleural pressure during positive or negative pressure ventilation. The transpulmonary pressure-related side effects primarily account for ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) while the pleural pressure-related side effects primarily account for hemodynamic alterations. The changes of transpulmonary pressure and pleural pressure resulting from a given applied driving pressure depend on the relative elastances of the lung and chest wall. The term ‘volutrauma’ should refer to excessive strain, while ‘barotrauma’ should refer to excessive stress. Strains exceeding 1.5, corresponding to a stress above ~20 cmH2O in humans, are severely damaging in experimental animals. Apart from high tidal volumes and high transpulmonary pressures, the respiratory rate and inspiratory flow may also play roles in the genesis of VILI. We do not know which fraction of mortality is attributable to VILI with ventilation comparable to that reported in recent clinical practice surveys (tidal volume ~7.5 ml/kg, positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) ~8 cmH2O, rate ~20 bpm, associated mortality ~35%). Therefore, a more complete and individually personalized understanding of ARDS lung mechanics and its interaction with the ventilator is needed to improve future care.
