  • 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.

  • Maintenance of Airway Pressure During Filter Exchange Due to Auto-Triggering
    Maintenance of Airway Pressure During Filter Exchange Due to Auto-Triggering Joakim Engstro¨m MSc CCRN, Henrik Reinius MD, Camilla Fro¨jd PhD CCRN, Hans Jonsson MSc CCRN, Go¨ran Hedenstierna MD PhD, and Anders Larsson MD PhD BACKGROUND: Daily routine ventilator-filter exchange interrupts the integrity of the ventilator circuit. We hypothesized that this might reduce positive airway pressure in mechanically ventilated ICU patients, inducing alveolar collapse and causing impaired oxygenation and compliance of the respiratory system. METHODS: We studied 40 consecutive ICU subjects (P /F ratio < 300 mm aO2 IO2 Hg), mechanically ventilated with pressure-regulated volume control or pressure support and > PEEP 5cmH2O. Before the filter exchange, (baseline) tidal volume, breathing frequency, end-inspiratory plateau pressure, and PEEP were recorded. Compliance of the respiratory system was calculated; F , blood pressure, and pulse rate were registered; and P ,P , pH, and base IO2 aO2 aCO2 excess were measured. Measurements were repeated 15 and 60 min after the filter exchange. In addition, a bench test was performed with a precision test lung with similar compliance and ؎ resistance as in the clinical study. RESULTS: The exchange of the filter took 3.5 ؎ 1.2 s (mean SD). There was no significant change in P (89 ؎ 16 mm Hg at baseline vs 86 ؎ 16 mm Hg at 15 aO2 or in compliance of the respiratory system (41 ؎ 11 (24. ؍ min and 88 ؎ 18 mm Hg at 60 min, P ؍ ؎ ؎ mL/cm H2O at baseline vs 40 12 mL/cm H2O at 15 min and 40 12 mL/cm H2O at 60 min, P .32).

  • Effect of Spontaneous Breathing on Ventilator- Induced Lung Injury In
    Xia et al. Critical Care 2011, 15:R244 http://ccforum.com/content/15/5/R244 RESEARCH Open Access Effect of spontaneous breathing on ventilator- induced lung injury in mechanically ventilated healthy rabbits: a randomized, controlled, experimental study Jingen Xia, Bing Sun, Hangyong He, Heng Zhang, Chunting Wang and Qingyuan Zhan* Abstract Introduction: Ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI), one of the most serious complications of mechanical ventilation (MV), can impact patients’ clinical prognoses. Compared to control ventilation, preserving spontaneous breathing can improve many physiological features in ventilated patients, such as gas distribution, cardiac performance, and ventilation-perfusion matching. However, the effect of spontaneous breathing on VILI is unknown. The goal of this study was to compare the effects of spontaneous breathing and control ventilation on lung injury in mechanically- ventilated healthy rabbits. Methods: Sixteen healthy New Zealand white rabbits were randomly placed into a spontaneous breathing group (SB Group) and a control ventilation group (CV Group). Both groups were ventilated for eight hours using biphasic positive airway pressure (BIPAP) with similar ventilator parameters: inspiration pressure (PI) resulting in a tidal volume (VT) of 10 to 15 ml/kg, inspiratory-to-expiratory ratio of 1:1, positive end-expiration pressure (PEEP) of 2 cmH2O, and FiO2 of 0.5. Inflammatory markers in blood serum, lung homogenates and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), total protein levels in BALF, mRNA expressions of selected cytokines in lung tissue, and lung injury histopathology scores were determined. Results: Animals remained hemodynamically stable throughout the entire experiment. After eight hours of MV, compared to the CV Group, the SB Group had lower PaCO2 values and ratios of dead space to tidal volume, and higher lung compliance.

Most infants require only enough O2 to maintain SpO2 between 87% to 92%, usually achieved with PaO2 of 40 to 60 mmHg, if pH is normal. Patients with pulmonary hypertension may require a much higher PaO2. B. With tracheal suctioning, it may be necessary to raise the inspired O2 temporarily. This should not be ordered routinely but only when the infant needs it. These orders are good for only 24h. OXYGEN DELIVERY and MEASUREMENT: A. Oxygen blenders allow O2 concentration to be adjusted between 21% and 100%. B. Head Hoods permit non-intubated infants to breathe high concentrations of humidified oxygen. Without a silencer they can be very noisy. C. Nasal Cannulae allow non-intubated infants to breathe high O2 concentrations and to be less encumbered than with a head hood. O2 flows of 0.25-0.5 L/min are usually sufficient to meet oxygen needs.

  • Increasing the Inspiratory Time and I:E Ratio During Mechanical Ventilation
    Müller-Redetzky et al. Critical Care (2015) 19:23 DOI 10.1186/s13054-015-0759-2 RESEARCH Open Access Increasing the inspiratory time and I:E ratio during mechanical ventilation aggravates ventilator-induced lung injury in mice Holger C Müller-Redetzky1*, Matthias Felten1, Katharina Hellwig1, Sandra-Maria Wienhold1, Jan Naujoks1, Bastian Opitz1, Olivia Kershaw2, Achim D Gruber2, Norbert Suttorp1 and Martin Witzenrath1 Abstract Introduction: Lung-protective ventilation reduced acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) mortality. To minimize ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI), tidal volume is limited, high plateau pressures are avoided, and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is applied. However, the impact of specific ventilatory patterns on VILI is not well defined. Increasing inspiratory time and thereby the inspiratory/expiratory ratio (I:E ratio) may improve oxygenation, but may also be harmful as the absolute stress and strain over time increase. We thus hypothesized that increasing inspiratory time and I:E ratio aggravates VILI. Methods: VILI was induced in mice by high tidal-volume ventilation (HVT 34 ml/kg). Low tidal-volume ventilation (LVT 9 ml/kg) was used in control groups. PEEP was set to 2 cm H2O, FiO2 was 0.5 in all groups. HVT and LVT mice were ventilated with either I:E of 1:2 (LVT 1:2, HVT 1:2) or 1:1 (LVT 1:1, HVT 1:1) for 4 hours or until an alternative end point, defined as mean arterial blood pressure below 40 mm Hg. Dynamic hyperinflation due to the increased I:E ratio was excluded in a separate group of animals. Survival, lung compliance, oxygenation, pulmonary permeability, markers of pulmonary and systemic inflammation (leukocyte differentiation in lung and blood, analyses of pulmonary interleukin-6, interleukin-1β, keratinocyte-derived chemokine, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1), and histopathologic pulmonary changes were analyzed.

  • Anesthesia Delivery System Consideration for Use As a Ventilator
    March 23, 2020 Mindray A-Series Anesthesia Delivery System Consideration for use as a Ventilator Dear Valued Customer: In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has provided guidance1 that allows for the use of anesthesia delivery systems for continuous ventilation. This is due to the increased demand for mechanical ventilation that is estimated to exceed the available ventilators in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) in the US. While Mindray does not promote anesthesia delivery systems for continuous ventilation, this information is provided in direct response to the current public health crisis. It is advised that the user becomes completely familiar with the information provided and considers all risks and benefits prior to using the anesthesia system for continuous ventilation. When considering the use of an anesthesia delivery system for continuous ventilation, the following functional differences should first be noted: 1) The indications for use are different (please reference the appropriate product Operator’s Manual at https://www.mindraynorthamerica.com/technical-documents/). Specifically, an anesthesia system is used, primarily, in Operating Rooms (ORs) where the case may last for a relatively short period or for several hours, under worst-case conditions. A continuous stand-alone ventilator is used, primarily, in the ICU and may operate continuously for several days. 2) Anesthesia systems are used, primarily, for mandatory ventilation on sedated and muscle- relaxed patients. Continuous stand-alone ventilators are used for spontaneous breathing support. 3) Manual mode on the anesthesia system is used for manually ventilating a patient or letting a patient breathe spontaneously, and is only available on the anesthesia systems (when the APL valve is set to “SP”, the PEEP will be zero (0) and the patient can respire spontaneously).
