1 What can we learn from high-frequency ventilation? Dipartimento di Medicina Perioperatoria, Terapia Intensiva ed Emergenza Azienda Sanitaria Universitaria Integrata di Trieste Università degli Studi di Trieste, Italy U. Lucangelo MD, PhD

2 Historical Overview of High Frequency Ventilation Oberg and Sjöstrand: first experimental application first clinical application High Frequency Positive Pressure Ventilation (HFPPV ) Lunkenheimer: High Frequency Oscillation (HFO) Klain and Smith 1977 High Frequency Jet Ventilation (HFJV)

3 The term High Frequency Ventilation is used to describe ventilation at higher than normal frequencies (above 60 cycles/min = 1 Hz) with reduced Tidal Volume (Vt) and Peak Airway Pressure (Ppeak)

4 Tidal Volume Tidal volume versus respiratory rate domain for different ventilatory strategies L F P P V + E C CO 2 R CV VD HFPPV HFJV HFOV Respiratory Rate (b/min)

5 High Frequency Ventilation Techniques Overwiew Heterogeneous group of Techniques Gas Delivery System Design Frequency ( cycles/min)

6 Gas Transport During HFV most popular theories Bulk gas flow Diffusion Taylor dispersion Asymmetric velocity profiles Pendelluft Collateral ventilation Cardiogenic oscillation

7 Gas Transport During HFV The relative importance of each of these mechanisms is not clear!! These mechanics are not mutually exclusive All may be operative simultaneously Effects of lung disease on regional mechanics

8 High-frequency ventilation was developed in an effort to avoid many of the complications and limitations of conventional mechanical ventilation Alveolar overdistension Use of large tidal volume Failure to exceed the minimum end-expiratory lung volume needed to prevent tidal closure of alveolar units

10 High Frequency Ventilation HFJV HFPV HFOV

11 H.F.O.V. is the form of high-frequency ventilation most widely used in adult critical care.

12 HFOV The oscillatory pressure swings and thus VT are provided by a piston O 2 INLET CO 2 WASH OUT Pressure Static Mean Airway Pressure P Unilevel Adjustable %I-time P MAP time

13 Pressure transmission in HFOV The oscillating pressures in the circuit are significantly damped in alveolar regions. Indeed, the impedance in the endotracheal tube alone significantly reduces the pressure swings in the trachea to 5-16% of that in the circuit.

15 Does High-Frequency Ventilation Offer Benefits Over Conventional Ventilation in Adult Patients With Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome? Many of the available human data on delivered VT during HFOV are from studies of neonates. Neonates : small and uncuffed endotracheal tubes higher frequencies (10 15 Hz). Adults: cuffed endotracheal tubes lower frequency (3 6 Hz). Very different lung and chest wall mechanics. Therefore, the very small VT reported in neonates could well be irrelevant to adult medicine. Fessler H.E. and Hess D.R. Respiratory Care 2007

16 Tidal volume delivery during high frequency oscillatory ventilation in adults with acute respiratory distress syndrome. Decreasing endotracheal tube internal diameter from 8 mm to 7 mm and from 7 mm to 6 mm caused a 15.3% ± 1.7% and 18.9% ± 2.1% reduction in tidal volume, respectively. A 2 Hz increase in frequency (4, 6, 8, 10, 12 Hz) was associated with a 23.1% ± 6.3% decrease in tidal volume. A 10 cmh 2 O increase in pressure amplitude (20, 30, 40 cmh 2 O ) caused a 21.4% ±3.4% increase in tidal volume. Tidal volumes are not uniformly small during HFOV ( ml)!!! Hager DN et al. Crit Care Med 2007

17 Four methods of measuring tidal volume during high-frequency oscillatory ventilation. Measured VT varied with the pressure amplitude and varied strongly with the frequency. At a pressure amplitude of 90 cm H 2 O and a frequency of only 4 Hz, VT was 200 ml. At 10 Hz, the VT fell to about 80 ml, even at the pressure amplitude of 90 cm H 2 O. Hager DN, Fuld M, Kaczka DW, Fessler HE, et al. Crit Care Med 2006

18 Determinants of tidal volume during high-frequency oscillation. In an adult sheep model, was used HFVO management strategies that were identical to the ones used in early adult clinical trials by Fort and Mehta. These investigators found that quite large VT (ie, 6 ml/kg) were being delivered into the proximal airways. Sedeek KA et al. Crit Care Med 2003

19 VT is technically difficult to measure and is not monitored during HFOV. Reliable tidal volume estimates at the airway opening with an infant monitor during high-frequency oscillatory ventilation.

20 Comparison of prone positioning and high-frequency oscillatory ventilation in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome. Prospective randomized study that enrolled 39 ARDS patients with a PaO2/FIO 2 < 150 mm Hg at PEEP > 5 cm H 2 O. After 12 hours on conventional lung-protective mechanical ventilation (VT of 6 ml/kg, Pplat 35 cmh 2 O, with supine conventional ventilation). 12 patients received conventional lung protective mechanical ventilation in prone position. 13 patients received HFOV in supine position 12 patients received HFOV in prone position Papazian L, et al.

24 Finally, the epiphenomena of HFOV include the potential for circulatory depression from high airway pressure and the need for heavy sedation or paralysis during HFOV.

30 Current evidence did not support the routine use of HFOV for ARDS patients in the era of lung-protective ventilation because of its potential harm.

38 The Evidence for New Ventilator Modes It s not the ventilator mode that makes a difference It s the skills of the clinician that makes the difference. Any ventilator mode has the potential to do harm! Dean Hess 2010

39 To ventilate, oscillate, or cannulate? Given the heterogeneity of acute respiratory distress syndrome, each of these modalities may play a role in an individual patient. Future studies comparing LPV, HFOV, and VV ECMO should not only focus on defining the patients who benefit most from each of these therapies but also consider long-term functional outcomes. Shekar K et al. Journal of Critical Care 2013

40 HFOV should be reserved for patients failing conventional ventilation and applied by clinicians with considerable experience with the device. Respir Care 2016
