Mechanical Venitlation of COPD & Asthma Exacerbations Objectives  Pathophysiology - PaCO 2 dederminants - Gas trapping - Work of breathing - Auto-PEEP  NIPPV - IPAP - EPAP  Mechanical ventilation - FIO 2 - PEEP - V T Denver Health

Pathohysiology of Asthma/COPD Exacerbations PEEP IPAP MV? Steroids Abx? MV? BDs Airway Inflammation Airway narrowing & obstruction Shortened muscles,  curvature  Frictional WOB  muscle strength  V T

Determinants of PaCO 2 PaCO 2  VCO 2 V A  VCO 2   Work - Agitation - Seizures -  WOB   Metabolism - Fever - CHO -  T4  V A   V E -  RR -  V T -  V D (without  V E ) Denver Health

PV Curve in COPD & Asthma (Acute Exacerbtion) -10 -20 -30 -40 2 4 6 Ptp (cm H 2 O) V L (L) V T V T Asthma Emphysema Denver Health

Implication V T falls because FRC encroaches on TLC  Limited ability to  V T with MV/IPAP Best way to  PaCO 2 is to  VCO 2   WOB (frictional and/or elastic)   PaCO 2 even if V T , V E and V A are constant Denver Health

Gas Trapping  P Inspmax Lung Volume TLC RV P Inspmax -100 0 Respiratory muscle weakness (Not fatigue!) Denver Health

Effect of Auto-PEEP Patm = 0 P A = 0 Ppl = - 5 Normal airway resistance (end-exhalation) Pel = 5  Ppl needed to initiate inhalation: - 1 P A drops to - 1 relative to Patm - 5 - 5 Ptp = 5 Denver Health

Effect of Auto-PEEP P A = 10 Airway narrowing causing auto-PEEP P atm = 0 Ppl = 2 Pel = 8  Ppl needed to initiate inhalation: - 11 2 2 Ptp = 8 Denver Health

Treatment of Auto-PEEP with PEEP or CPAP Airway narrowing with auto-PEEP: Treatment with PEEP P A = 10 PEEP = 10 Ppl 2 Pel = 8  Ppl needed to initiate inhalation: - 1 The only thing PEEP does is  work of breathing 2 2 Ptp = 8 Denver Health

Implication PEEP, EPAP, CPAP  No effect on V E , V T or V A   WOB (elastic) -  VCO 2 (on next breath) -  PaCO 2 (on next breath) Denver Health

Treatment of Auto-PEEP with  V insp Longer time for exhalation, P A falls P A = 6 Ppl = 1 Pel = 6  Ppl needed to initiate inhalation: - 7 1 1 Ptp = 5 P atm = 0 Denver Health

Work of Breathing Work of Breathing RV FRC TLC Total Work Elastic Work Frictional Work Denver Health

EPAP or CPAP vs IPAP Appendini, AJRCCM 1994  Ptp, Ptd in 7 COPD pts within 48 hrs  Work of breathing measured during: - Spontaneous breathing - CPAP = 0.8 - 0.9 auto-PEEP - PS = 10 cm H 2 O - PS + CPAP  Both CPAP and PS  WOB ¯  Additive  ? effect of underestimating auto-PEEP Denver Health

NIPPV Pathophysiology of AECOPD & Asthma is amenable to Rx with NIPPV  EPAP for auto-PEEP   IPAP for inspiratory Raw Will  work of breathing   VCO 2  At constant V A ,  PaCO 2 and  pH May  V A May  mortality and intubation rate Denver Health

Mechanical Ventilation of COPD & Asthma Exacerbations Mode:  AC vs IMV  PS  ? rest respiratory muscles: CMV  Better sleep with AC vs. IMV-PS  Ventilator-induced diaphragm changes (?) Triggering: key issue with either mode  PEEP to counter auto-PEEP  Major cause of patient-ventilator dissynchrony Denver Health

Mechanical Ventilation of COPD & Asthma Exacerbations Tidal Volume (with AC)  Recommendations: 8-12 ml/kg  For 60 kg man = 480 to 720 ml  Frequently > FEV 1 !  Use smaller V T (encroaching on TLC) Minimize effect of auto-PEEP  High inspiratory flow ( ignore peak Paw)  PEEP Adjust ventilator to patient, not vice-versa Denver Health

Acute Exacerbations of COPD What do I do?  NIPPV with EPAP - Auto-PEEP - Work of breathing - VCO 2  Mechanical ventilation - PEEP to facilitate triggering - Low V T - Lowest safe FIO 2 Denver Health
