complications related to:
â˘Intubation

Cardiogenic pulmonary edema
Hypoxic respiratory failure
Other possible indications
â˘Weaning (post-extubation)
â˘Obesity hypoventilation syndrome
â˘Patients deemed not to be intubated

9. Cardiac or respiratory arrest
Non-respiratory organ failure
Severe encephalopathy (e.g., GCS < 10)
Severe upper gastrointestinal bleeding
Hemodynamic instability or unstable cardiac arrhythmia
Facial surgery, trauma, or deformity
Upper airway obstruction
Inability to cooperate/protect the airway
Inability to clear respiratory secretions
High risk for aspiration
10. Continuous Mandatory Breath(CMV):
- all breaths are mandatory, and machine triggered.
Continuous spontaneous ventilation(csv) or PS:
-all breaths are spontaneous, triggered by the
patient .
SIMV:
-when mandatory breath are patient triggered they are
called SIMV. breaths can be either mandatory or spontaneous Breaths
can occur separately or breaths can be superimposed on each
other. Spontaneous breaths can be superimposed on mandatory
breaths, as in Airway Pressure Release Ventilation (APRV).
Alternatively, mandatory breaths can be superimposed on
spontaneous breaths, as in high frequency oscillatory
ventilation(HFOV)
11. How the work of breathing partitions between the patient and the ventilator
depends on:
⢠Mode of ventilation (e.g., in assist control most of the work is usually done by the ventilator)
⢠Patient effort and synchrony with the mode of ventilation
⢠Specific settings of a given mode (e.g., level of pressure in PS and set rate in SIMV)
12. Basic definitions
-Airway pressure
-Peak inspiratory pressure(PIP)
-plateau pressure
-Positive end expiratory pressure(PEEP)
-Continuous Positive airway pressure(CPAP)
-Mean airway pressure.
-Inspiratory time, I:E ratio
- Tidal Volume: amount of gas delivered with each
breath.
-FiO2(fraction of inspired O2)
13. PIP(Peak inspiratory pressure)
-The PIP is the maximum pressure obtainable
during active gas delivery. It is thus important to adjust PIP
as per lung compliance & thus ventilate with optimal tidal
volume.
Plateau pressure
-The PP is defined as the end inspiratory pressure
during a period of no gas flow. The PP reflects lung & chest
wall compliance. It should be limited to 35 cm HâO.
Mean airway pressure:
- Is an average of the system pressure over the entire
ventilator period.
17. -High intra thoracic pressure can cause decreased venous
return & decrease cardiac output.
-May produce pulmonary barotrauma.
-May worsen air- trapping in Obstructive Pulmonary
disease.
-Increase intracranial pressure
-Alteration of renal function & water metabolism.
PEEP should be kept 0 (zero) is pneumothorax.
PEEP should be kept high in ARDS
Normal PEEP in 5 mm of Hg
18. Suspecting and Measuring AutoPEEP
Time
Pressure
PEEPe
PEEPi
Total PEEP
Suspect AutoPEEP if flow at the
end of expiration does not return
to the zero baseline.
AutoPEEP is commonly measured by performing a pause at the end of expiration. In
a passive patient, flow interruption is associated with pressure equilibration through
the entire system. In such conditions, proximal airway pressure tracks the mean
alveolar pressure caused by dynamic hyperinflation.
End expiratory pause
19. PEEP, Regional Lung Volume, and Shunting
PEEP
CPAP
Lung regions with shunt tend to distribute preferentially in the dependent
regions. Tidal ventilation helps open collapsed regions, and PEEP helps to
maintain those regions open throughout expiration and to reduce shunt.
Note that level of PEEP required to achieve such varies along the
gravitational axis.
20.
21.
22. A)Trigger (time, pressure ,flow)
-What causes the breath to begin.
B)Limit what regulates gas flow during breath
C)Cycle: What causes the breath to end
23. A)Set point: Means that the output of the ventilator
automatically matches a constant, unvarying, operator
preset input value(production of a constant inspiratory
pressure or flow from breath to breath)
B) Servo: The output automatically follows dynamic
varying , operator specified input.
C)Adaptive dual control : Means that ventilator
automatically adjust the pressure set point over several
breaths to maintain an operator selected volume set point
(target volume) as the mechanics of respiratory system
change)
Eg: PRVC in servo 300 & Autoflow Drager evita 4, E-vent,
24. Optimal control:( Most advance control strategy)
The Ventilator automatically adjust both the pressure
& volume set points to optimize other performance
variable as respiratory mechanics change.
25. CPAP( Continuous positive airway pressure):
Refers to the addition of a fixed amount of positive airway pressure to
spontaneous respirations.
-Patient must initiate all the breath.
-Functionally similar to PEEP
Indication: Obstructive sleep apnea
Cardiogenic pulmonary edema
Maintain a continuous level of positive airway pressure in a
spontaneous breathing pattern.
It is functionally similar to PEEP except that PEEP is
applied pressure against exhalation & CPAP is pressure
applied by a constant pressure.
27. Pressure and volume targeted ventilation obey the same principles set
by the equation of motion. Pressure and volume targeted ventilation
obey the same principles set by the equation of motion.
In pressure-targeted ventilation: an airway pressure target and
inspiratory time are set, while flow and tidal volume become the
dependent variables.
In volume targeted ventilation (flow-controlled, volume cycled), a
target volume and flow (or inspiratory time in certain ventilator) are
preset and pressure and inspiratory time (or flow in the ventilator where
inspiratory time is preset) become the dependent variables.
The tidal volume is the integral of the flow during inspiration = area
under the curve of the flow time curve during inspiration .

35. Key set variables
â˘Targeted volume (or pressure target), flow rate (or inspiratory time, Ti), mandated frequency
â˘PEEP, FIO2, pressure support
Mandatory breaths
â˘Ventilator delivers a fixed number of cycles with a preset volume at preset flow rate.
â˘Alternatively, a preset pressure is applied for a specified Ti
Spontaneous breaths
â˘Unrestricted number, aided by the selected level of pressure support
36. -Set ventilator breath:
Set minimum minute ventilation with respiratory
rate+ VŃ( V-SIMV) or Inspiratory Pressure(P-SIMV).
-Ventilator breaths are synchronized with patients
inspiratory breath.
-Patient increases MV by adding spontaneous breath which
can be unassisted or spontaneous.
40. Pressure Control ventilation
Key set variables:
â˘Pressure, TI, and frequency
â˘PEEP and FIO2
Mandatory breaths
â˘Ventilator generates a predetermined pressure for a preset time
Spontaneous breaths
â˘PCV-AC mode: same as mandatory breaths
â˘PCV-SIMV mode: unsupported or PS
Important caveat
â˘It is important to understand that in pressure-controlled ventilation the relation
between the set rate and minute ventilation is complex. Above a certain frequency
(e.g., when intrinsic PEEP is created due to a reduced expiratory time), the driving
pressure (set PC pressure â PEEPtotal) starts to drop--and so does the delivered tidal
volume.
â˘A pneumothorax or other adverse change in the mechanics of the respiratory system
will not trigger a high alarm pressure but a low tidal volume alarm instead.
41. Pressure = set variable.
Mandatory breaths: none.
Spontaneous breaths
â˘Ventilator provides a preset pressure assist, which terminates when flow drops to a
specified fraction (typically 25%) of its maximum.
â˘Patient effort determines size of breath and flow rate.
