Breath Delivery: Phase Variables Trigger: initiates inspiration Ventilator (time) or patient (pressure or flow) Control: what the ventilator controls during the inspiratory phase Flow (volume) or pressure Cycle: initiates iti t exhalation Time, flow, volume, or pressure Baseline: present throughout the cycle PEEP or CPAP or EPAP
Pressure-triggered breath Flow-triggered breath trigger flow trigger flow beginning of patient effort pressure beginning of patient effort pressure trigger Modern triggers are sensitive s Trigger Difficulty: - auto-peep: increase PEEP setting - weakness: increase rate setting Auto-Trigger: - water in circuit - cardiac oscillations
Ventilator Breath Types Mandatory: either triggered or cycled by the ventilator (back-up rate) Volume control Pressure control Adaptive control (pressure varies to keep volume constant) Spontaneous: triggered and cycled by the patient (no back-up rate) Continuous positive i airway pressure Pressure support ventilation Adaptive (pressure varies to keep volume constant)

Ventilator Modes Continuous mandatory ventilation (assist/control) [backup rate] VCV, PCV, adaptive control Continuous spontaneous ventilation [no backup rate] CPAP, PSV, PAV, adaptive control Synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation VCV, PCV, adaptive control pressure support
spontaneous breath mandatory breath SIMV spontaneous breaths flow volume airway pressure esophageal pressure
Why New Modes? More safely assist patient! Less likelihood lih of ventilator t associated lung injury. Less hemodynamic compromise More effectively ventilate/oxygenate! Improve patient - ventilator synchrony! More rapid weaning!

Proportional Assist Ventilation PAV based on the equation of motion: Paw + Pmus = V xr+ V VxE Increases or decreases ventilatory support in proportion to patient t effort Similar in concept to Power Steering Tracks changes in patient effort and adjusts ventilator t output t to reduce work Introduced by Younes in 1992 Younes M, ARRD 1992;145:121

What is Needed Protocolized approaches to providing mechanical ventilation Coordination and correlation of monitored data Identification of existent or potential problems Smart Alarms Modes of ventilation????
Intelligent Ventilator Alarms and Enhanced Monitoring Should the ventilator alarm every time the high pressure or low tidal volume limit is reached? Alarms should incorporate: Up/down counting algorithms! Alarms should reset if condition corrected! td! Alarm level associated with criticality of alarm!

Crit Care Med 2007;35:260 VAP Crit Care Med 2007;35:260 Closed suction is cost-effective, the same catheter can be used multiple times for multiple days.
Humidification Prevents water and heat loss Active heated humidification Passive heat and moisture exchanger (artificial nose): less effective; adds dead space and resistance

Chest 2005; 127:335-371 Both nebulizers and MDIs can be used to deliver Bt Beta 2 -agonists to mechanically ventilated t patients. t Careful attention to details of the technique employed for administering i i drugs by MDI or nebulizer to mechanically ventilated patients is critical, since multiple technical factors may have clinically important effects on the efficiency of aerosol delivery.
Goals When Setting The Ventilator Avoid alveolar over-distension: volume and pressure limitation Apply PEEP to maintain alveolar recruitment or counter-balance auto-peep Provide adequate gas exchange Promote patient-ventilator synchrony Avoid auto-peep Use the lowest possible FIO 2
