5. Introduction about
Mechanical Ventilation
--Mechanical Ventilation is typically used
after an invasive intubation, a procedure
wherein an endotracheal or tracheostomy
tube is inserted into the airway.
-- It is used in acute settings such as in the
ICU for a short period of time during a
serious illness.
--It may be used at home or in a Nursing or
re-habilitation institution, if patients have
chronic illnesses that require long term
Ventilation assistance.
6. -HISTORY
--The Roman Physician Galen may
have been the first to describe
Mechanical Ventilation.
--If you take a dead animal and blow air
through its Larynx [Through a reed],
you will fill its bronchi and watch its
lungs attain the greatest distension.
-- Vesalius too describes ventilation by
inserting a reed or Cane into the
trachea of the animals.
--In 1908 George Poe demonstrated
his Mechanical respirator by
asphyxiating Dogs and seemingly
bringing them back to life
7. -MEANING OF MECHANICAL VENTILATION
-In Medicine, Mechanical Ventilation is a method
to mechanically assist or replace of Spontaneous
breathing
8. -INDICATIONS FOR USE OF VENTILATOR
Common Medical indications for use include
--Acute Lung injury (Including ARDS, Trauma)
--Apnea with respiratory arrest, including cases from
Intoxication
--Chronic obstructive Pulmonary disease (COPD)
--Acute Respiratory acidosis with partial pressure of carbon
dioxide (pCO2) >50 mmHg and pH <7.25 which may be due
to paralysis of the Diaphragm due to “Guillain Barre”
syndrome, Myasthenia Gravis, Spinal Cord injury, or the effect
of Anesthetic drugs and Muscle relaxant drugs
--Increased work of breathing as evidenced by significant
Tachypnea retractions, and other physical signs of Respiratory
distress.
--Hypoxemia with arterial partial pressure of Oxygen (PaO2) with
supplemental fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) < 55 mmHg
--Hypotension including Sepsis, shock, Congestive heart Failure
--Neurological diseases such as Muscular Dystrophy Amyotrophic
lateral sclerosis
9. -TYPES OR FORMS OF MECHENICAL VENTILATION
--The two major types of Mechanical ventilation
are Negative pressure and positive pressure
ventilation
--The main form of Mechanical ventilation,
which works by increasing the pressure in
the patient’s airway and thus forcing air into
the lungs. Less common today are
Negative pressure ventilators
(For Example, the “Iron lung”) that create a
negative pressure environment around the
patient’s chest, thus sucking air into the lungs
10. --Types or Forms of Mechanical Ventilation
-Negative pressure ventilation
-Positive pressure ventilation
11. -Settings of Mechanical Ventilation
--Mechanical Ventilator Settings
Regulates the Rate, Depth and
other characteristic's of
ventilation Settings are based
on the patient’s Status
(ABG’s, Body weight, level
of Consciousness and Muscle
strength
12. -PARAMETERS OF
MECHANICAL VENTILATION
ARE FOLLOWING
--RESPIRATORY RATE (f) :- Normally 10 to 20 b/m
--TIDAL VOLUME (VT) :- 5 --- 15 ML / Kg
--OXYGEN CONCENTRATION (FIO2) :-b/w 21--90%
-- I : E Ratio :- 1: 2
--FLOW RATE :- 40– 100 L/ min
--SENSITIVITY / TRIGGER :- 0.5 1.5 cm H2O
--PRESSURE LIMIT :- 10---25 cm H2O
--PEEP :- Usually, 5---10 cm H2O
16. --CONTROLLED MADATORY
VENTILATION (CMV)
-CONTROLLED MECHANICAL VENTILATION(CMV)
--In this mode the ventilator provides a
mechanical breath on a present timing
Patients respiratory efforts are ignored.
--This is generally uncomfortable for
children and adults who are conscious
and is usually only used in an
unconscious patient.
--It may also be used in infants who often
quickly adapt their breathing pattern to
the ventilator timing
17. -ASSIST – CONTROL MANDATORY VENTILATION (ACV)
-Assist control (AC):-In this mode the Ventilator provides
a mechanical breath with either a Pre-set tidal volume
or Peak pressure, every time a patient initiates a breath.
--Traditional control used only a Pre-set tidal volume.
--When a Pre-set Peak pressure is used, this is also
sometimes termed Intermittent Positive pressure
Ventilation or IPPV.
--However the initiation timing is the same-both provides
a ventilator breath with patients every effort.
--In most ventilators a back up minimum breath rate can
be set in the event that the patient becomes apnoeic.
--Although a maximum rate is not usually set, an alarm can
be set if the ventilator cycles too frequently.
--This can alert that the patient is Tachypneic or that the
ventilator may be auto-cycling (A problem that results
when the ventilator interprets fluctuations in the circuit
due to the last breath termination as a new breath
initiation attempt.
18. -SYNCHRONIZED INTERMITENT MANDATORY VENTILATION (SIMV)
--In this mode the ventilator provides a pre-set Mechanical breath
(Pressure or volume limited every specified number of seconds
( determined by dividing the respiratory rate into 60 – thus a
respiratory rate of 12 results in a 5 second cycle time).
-- Within that cycle time the ventilator waits for the patient to initiate
a breath using either a pressure or flow sensor.
-- When the ventilator senses the first patients breathing attempt
within the cycle, it delivers the Pre-set ventilator breath.
-- If the patient fails to initiate a breath , The ventilator delivers a
Mechanical breath at the end of the breath cycle.
--Additional spontaneous breaths after the first one within the breath
cycle do not trigger another SIMV breath. However SIMV may be
combined with pressure support.
-- SIMV is frequently employed as a method of decreasing ventilatory
support. (weaning) by turning down the rate, which requires the
patient to take additional breaths beyond the SIMV triggered breath.
--SYNCHRONIZED INTERMITENT MANDATORY VENTILATION (SIMV):-
19. -POSETIVE END EXPIRATORY PRESSURE
--PEEP:- is functionally the same as CPAP, but refers to the
use of an elevated pressure during the Expiratory Phase of
the ventilatory cycle. After delivery of the set amount of
breath by the ventilator, the patient then Exhales passively.
-- The volume of gas remaining in the lung after a normal
Expiration is termed “Functional Residual Capacity” (FRC).
--The FRC is Primarily determined by the elastic qualities of
the lung and chest wall.
--In many lung diseases, leading to a decreased surface area
for gas exchange and Intrapulmonary shunting with wasted
oxygen inspired.
-- Adding PEEP can reduce the work of breathing
(at low levels) and help pressure FRC.
20. -CONTINUOUS POSETIVE
AIRWAY PRESSURE (CPAP)
--(CPAP)-=A continuous level of elevated
pressure is provided through the patient
circuit to maintain adequate oxygenation,
decrease the work of breathing, and
decrease the work of heart (such as in
Left-sided heart failure --- CHF)
--Note that no cycling of ventilator pressure
occurs and the patient must initiate all
breaths
--In addition, no additional pressure above the
CPAP pressure is provided during those
breaths
--CPAP may be used invasively through an
endotracheal tube or tracheostomy or
non-invasively with a face mask or nasal
prongs
21. -PRESSURE SUPPORT VENTILATION
-Pressure support ventilation (PSV).
--When a patient attempts to breath spontaneously
through an endotracheal tube, the narrowed
diameter of the airway results in higher
resistance to airflow, and thus a higher work
of breathing.
--PSV was developed as a method to decrease the
work of breathing in-between ventilator
mandated Breaths by providing an elevated
pressure triggered by spontaneous breathing
that “supports” ventilation during Inspiration

37. --THINGS WHICH WE SHOULD
NOT FORGET
-SUCTIONING
-MOUTH CARE
-NEBULIZATION
39. -DEFINATION
--A Medical ventilator is a
machine designed to provide
mechanical ventilation by
moving breathable air into
and out of the lungs, to deliver
breaths to a patient who is
physically unable to breath,
or breathing in-sufficiently
40. -BAG IN A BOTTLE
VENTILATORS
--Most Anesthesia ventilators have
a bellows in a box (Bag in a bottle,
double circuit) design
--The bellows is housed in a
pressure chamber, and the
inside of the bellows Is connected
to the breathing system
41. -OXYLOG VENTILATORS
WHAT IS HFOV
--This is not to be confused with the high
frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) which
is rarely used
--Its First established used is in neonatal
ARDS
--HFOV’s claim to fame is reduced of
ventilator-induced Lung injury (VILI)
47. -FEATURES OF Manual Jet Ventilation
--The manual jet ventilator consists of five
permanently assembled parts
1-Hose to connect to high pressure
(50 psi) oxygen supply with DISS
connector (we keep an additional
adapter for an Ohio-Quick-Connect
outlet attached to the device
2-Flow Regulator
3-Valve with lever
4-Manometer
5-Hose to connect to patient side with
Luer-Lock-Adapter
48. -HIGH FREQUENCY VENTILATION
-High frequency ventilation is a type of
Mechanical ventilation which utilizes a
respiratory rate greater than four (4) times
the normal value, and very small Tidal
Volumes.
-High frequency ventilation is thought to
reduce ventilator-associated lung injury,
especially in the context of ARDS and
acute lung injury.
