Editor's Notes

  • #13 How do you know the problem is with the patient? Look at your flow curve.
  • #16 If follows from the equation of motion that the ventilator can control either the left side of the equation (ie, airway pressure) or the right side (ie, volume and flow). These curves illustrate the two basic approaches to ventilator control. If the ventilator controls flow, it controls volume indirectly (by definition) and vice versa. Usually, inspiratory flow is held constant during inspiration, causing volume and pressure to rise linearly. Inspiration ends (cycles off) when a preset tidal volume is met. In contrast, with pressure control ventilation, airway pressure may be held constant during inspiration. This causes inspiratory flow to decay exponentially from its peak value towards zero as volume rises exponentially. Inspiration usually ends after a preset inspiratory time or (in the case of pressure support) after a preset inspiratory flow threshold has been crossed. If inspiratory time is long enough (usually about 5 time constants) lung pressure will equilibrate with airway pressure and inspiratory flow will cease. You will note that for passive exhalation is exponential. That mean expiratory time must be at least 5 time constants long to exhale more that 99% of the tidal volume. As expiratory time becomes shorter than 5 time constants, gas trapping (ie, autoPEEP) occurs.
