4 Basic goals of mechanical ventilation Assist the patient in restoring lung function leading to adequate gas exchange Optimize patient-ventilator interaction Minimize ventilator-induced/associated lung injury

5 Restoring lung function is only possible if we understand normal physiology and pathophysiology of the lung

6 Mechanical properties of the lung Elastic recoil Goldsmith & Karotkin: Assisted ventilation of the neonate

21 Low end-expiratory lung volume Effect on gas exchange Normal Intrapulm Rà L shunt Normaly < 10% Adequate oxygenation with FiO Air Alveolar collapse Airway obstruction

22 Lung function changes in preterms Summary Reduction in compliance Reduction in lung volume less compliant part inflation limb increased airway resistance increased work of breathing increased intrapulmonary shunt increased pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) à respiratory failure

49 The optimal expiration time? The time constant The time constant of the respiratory system is a measure of how quickly the lungs can inflate or deflate T RS =C L x R AW One time constant is defined as the time it takes to exhale 63% of the inflated tidal volume

50 The optimal expiration time? The time constant 100 % lung volume remaining % Time constant
