 Introduction
 Goals of mechanical ventilation
 Indications of mechanical
ventilation
 Criteria for initiating mechanical
ventilation
 Effects of mechanical ventilation
 Modes of mechanical ventilation
 Ventilatory care bundles
 Weaning from mechanical
Mechanical ventilation
Cornerstone of intensive care
medicine
“Ventilate” is derived from the
Latin word “Ventus” meaning
“Wind”
Ventilation is the movement of air
Mechanical ventilation
Use of a machine to take over active
breathing for a patient
Used for patients who are unable to
sustain the level of ventilation
necessary to maintain the gas
exchange functions - oxygenation and
carbon dioxide elimination
Goals of mechanical
ventilation
 Increase efficiency of breathing
 Increase oxygenation
 Improve ventilation/perfusion
relationship
 Decrease work of breathing
Indications of Mechanical
Ventilation
A. Established acute respiratory
failure
B. Incipient respiratory failure
C. Low output states
Indications ….
A) Established Acute Respiratory
Failure
 Primary ventilatory failure
 Poisonings which depress the CNS
 CNS and neuromuscular disorders
( poliomyelitis, infective polyneuritis,
myasthenia)
 Snake bites
 Severe tetanus
Indications…
 Acute pulmonary disorders e.g.
fulminant pneumonia, acute lung
injury (ARDS)
 Fulminant pulmonary oedema
 Major or massive pulmonary
embolism
 Major or massive atelectasis
 Patients with COPD in acute crisis,
unresponsive to conventional
Indications…
B) Incipient Respiratory Failure
 Obese patients who have undergone
upper abdominal surgery, or poor risk
surgical patients
 Respiratory muscle fatigue in critical
illnesses
 Patients with excessive ventilatory
demands
Indications…
C) Low output states
 Shock of any etiology
D) Purposeful hyperventilation
 To decrease intracranial tension in
patients with head injury
 To reduce cerebral edema after CPR or
massive CVA
Criteria for initiating ventilatory
support in adults
 On the basis of pulmonary
function
 On the basis of blood gas
analysis
Criteria….
A) On the basis of pulmonary
function
 Respiratory rate > 35/ min
 VC<10 -15mL/kg
 MV> 10-12L /min
 Maximum Inspiratory Force < -20 cm
H2O
 Vd/Vt ratio > 0.6
Criteria for initiating ventilatory
support in adults
On the basis of blood gas analysis
 PaO2 < 50 mmHg on room air
 PaO2 < 60 mmHg on O2 support (
fiO2 > 0.5)
 PaCO2 > 50 mmHg
 pH < 7.25
 PaO2/fiO2< 250
 P(A-a) O2>350 mmHg on fiO2 of 1
Criteria for initiating ventilatory
support in adults
On the basis of clinical parameters
 Visible excessive work of breathing in
critically ill or debilitated patients
 Clinical evidence of respiratory muscle
fatigue
 Poor chest excursions
 Tachypnea
 Respiratory muscle paradox
Effects of Mechanical
Ventilation
Cardiovascular
Respiratory
Renal
Hepatic
Gastrointestinal
Central nervous system
Spontaneous breathing
Contraction of the diaphragm and respiratory
muscles
Air flows into lungs
Lowers the pleural, alveolar and airway
pressures below atmospheric pressure
Spontaneous breathing
Positive pessure ventilation
Gas flows into the lungs under a positive pressure gradient
generated by the ventilator
Increases the pleural, alveolar and airway
pressures above atmospheric pressure
Tidal volume delivered to lungs is directly related to the
positive pressure when a pressure limited ventilator is used
. In volume limited ventilators, the level of positive pressure
is dependent on the mechanical tidal volume and on lung
compliance and airway resistance
Effects of Mechanical
Ventilation
Cardiovascular
Respiratory
Renal
Hepatic
Abdominal
Gastrointestinal
Central nervous system
Cardiovascular system
Decreased Preload
Positive alveolar pressure ↑ lung
volume compression of the heart by
the inflated lungs the intramural
pressure of the heart cavities rises (e.g.,
↑ RAP ) venous return decreases
preload is reduced stroke volume
decreases cardiac output and blood
pressure may drop
Fall in cardiac output is generally
Cardiovascular Effects of PPV
Spontaneous ventilation PPV
Cardiovascular system
Reduced Afterload
Positive intrathoracic
pressure compression
of heart facilitates
ventricular emptying
during systole
Increases stroke
Blood pressure changes
during mechanical
ventilation
Cardiovascular system
Degree of circulatory tolerance is
dependent on
• inspiratory inflation pressures
• time duration of lung inflation
• integrity of vascular reflexes
• circulatory blood volume
Effects of PPV on
hemodynamic measurements
Increase in intrathoracic
pressure
Decrease in pulmonary blood
volume and increase in
systemic blood volume
Decrease in venous return
(CVP)
Decrease in right ventricular
stroke volume
Decrease in pulmonary
Respiratory system
Excessive airway pressure and tidal
volume
Ventilator induced lung injury
Alteration in V/Q ratio
Ventilator associated lung injury
Neurologic Changes during
Mechanical Ventilation
 Decrease cerebral blood flow
 Increase CSF pressure
 Decrease CSF absorption
 Increase CSF volume
systems
Cardiovascular considerations
Positive pressure ventilation
Increase in intrathoracic pressure
Compression of pulmonary vessels
Reduction in stroke volume
Cardiovascular considerations
Reduction of cardiac output and
pulmonary blood volume
High V/Q mismatch
Hypoxemia
Decrease in o2 content
Decrease in o2 delivery
Dead space
Anatomic Dead space
- conducting airways
Estimated to be about 1ml per pound of ideal body
weight
Alveolar Dead space
- normal lung volume that has become unable to take
part in gas exchange because of reduction in
pulmonary blood flow
Pulmonary embolism
Physiologic Dead space
Sum of anatomic and alveolar dead space volumes
Effects of PEEP on hemodynamic
measurements
 Increase in pulmonary artery pressures(PAP)
 Increase in central venous pressure (CVP)
 Decrease in aortic pressure
 Decrease in cardiac output
Mechanical ventilation
Neurologic Changes during mechannical
ventilation
 Respiratory alkalosis decreased cerebral blood
flow
(<24hrs) reduced intracranial tension
 Respiratory alkalosis leftward shift of HbO2
(>24hrs) dissociation curve
affinity for hemoglobin
O2 release to tissues
cerebral tissue hypoxia
neurologic dysfunction
hypophophatemia
Treatment in ICU
--a frightening experience !!!
Changing surgical
dressings
Catheterisation
Insertion of a
chest drain
Turning the
patient
Continuous
background of noise
and activity
Disturbed normal
diurinal sleep
rhythm and sleep
deprivation
