Four Phases Of The Ventilatory Cycle
Inspiration
Transition from Inspiration to Expiration
Expiration
Transition from Expiration to Inspiration
Ventilators Generate Tidal Volume By Gas Flow
Along a Pressure Gradient
Solenoid Valve
Sets the Timing of when Inspiration Begins and Ends
Sets the I : E Ratio
Electric Current Flows to Solenoid Valve
Sets Precise Timing Sequence
Inspiratory Duration and Flow Rate Determine Tidal Volume
ventilator type
Time Cycled Ventilators
Will Not Cycle from inspiration to Expiration Until Preset pressure is Reached
Pressure Cycled Ventilators
Pressure Support Ventilation
3x
1. Augments the Tidal Volume of Spontaneously Breathing Patients
2. Gas Flow with Every Inspiratory Effort
3. Overcomes Increased Inspiratory Resistance
Jet Ventilation
1. High Pressure Gas Blown Into the Airway to Achieve Ventilation
2.Specially Constructed Tube Inserted Beyond the Vocal Cords to Direct the Vet
3. Must be At Least 16 Gauge to Deliver Gas
4. Pressure as high as 2-3 atmospheres
Positive End Expiratory Pressure
5 points
Improves Oxygen Delivery to Tissues
Stabilizes and Expands Partially Collapsed Alveoli
Increases Functional Residual Capacity
Improves Lung Compliance
Improves V/Q Mismatch
Pressure Threshold Allows
Allows Expiratory Flow to Occur ONLY WHEN Airway Pressure Equals or Exceeds the Selected PEEP Level

Provided By a Pressurized Expiratory Valve or Diaphragm
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure-CPAP used
During Inspiration and Expiration with Spontaneous Breathing
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure-CPAP Pressure >15cmH2O
15cmH2O Increases the Risk of Gastric Distention and Regurgitation
CPAP Masks Should ONLY be used with
Alert Patients with Intact Airway Reflexes
Traditional Ventilators
3 old points
Double Circuit System
Pneumatically Powered
Electronically Controlled
Modern Ventilators
4 new changes
Microprocessor Control
Sophisticated Pressure & Flow Sensors
Double-Circuit System Ventilators
Piston Ventilators
Ventilator Flow Control Valve Regulates
Drive Gas
Double Circuit System Ventilators
Two Circuits:
Patient Circuit: Inside the Bellows and Contains O2, N2O, Air and Inhalational Gas Mixture
Drive Gas Circuit: Outside the Bellows Between the Plastic Bellows Housing
Pushes the Bellows Up & Down
Ascending Bellows
Ascending (Standing) Bellows: Rise during Expiration
Descending Bellows
Collapse during Expiration
OHMEDA MACHINES used for Pneumatic Power
1 100% O2
2 Pressure Regulated Down to 26 PSIG by Second-Stage Regulator
3 O2 Rate at least Equal to Minute Ventilation
Drager Machine’s Venturi Device
Entrains Room Air due to Fall in Pressure at the Narrowing of the Tube
Venturi Device Results is an FIO2
of 35%
Drive Gas Leaks Into the Bellows
5
Hyperventilation
Possible Barotrauma
Increased FIO2
Decreased N2O
Dilution of Inhalational Agents
Ventilator Relief Valve Prevents
the Build Up of Pressure or Volume within the Breathing Circuit or Lungs
Ventilator Relief Valve vents
vents Drive Gas OUT to the Room
(big difference)
Vents Patient Circuit Gas OUT to the Scavenger
Ventilator Relief Valve OPEN During
Expiratory Phase
When Utilized with Ascending Bellows
Creates 2-3 cmH2O of PEEP within the Breathing Circuit at End Expiration
When this 2-3 cmH2O of PEEP is Sensed within the Breathing Circuit, the Ventilator Relief Valve will Vent the Excess Pressure from
from the Breathing Circuit to the Scavenger
Ventilator Relief Valve CLOSED by
the Drive Gas During Inspiratory Phase
(Prevents Gas within the Bellows from Escaping to the Scavenger as the Bellows are Compressed)
Ventilator Relief Valve Also Called The
2x
Pressure Limiting Valve

Spill Valve
Free Breathing Valve
Allows Outside Air to Enter the Drive Chamber & the Bellows to Collapse, IF the Patient Generates Negative Pressure by taking Spontaneous Breaths during Mechanical Ventilation
Piston Ventilators
4 points
Electronic Motor Compresses the Bellows during Inspiration
DOES NOT Use Drive Gas
Has a Positive and Negative Pressure Relief Valve
Can Vent N2O and Inhalational Agents to the Room
Piston Ventilators
Positive Pressure Relief Valve
OPENS if
if pressure within the Piston reaches 75 cmH2O (at the Highest)
Many Manufacturers set an automatic default to open at 40 cmH2O
Piston Ventilators
Negative Pressure Relief Valve
Opens is the Pressure in the Piston Declines to
Declines to -8 cmH2O
Prevents the Patient from Negative End Expiratory Pressure (NEEP)
Negative Pressure Relief Valve
Fresh Gas Decoupling
3 points
Ensures Set & Delivered Tidal Volumes are Equal
Fresh Gas Flow is NOT Added to the Delivered Tidal Volume
One Way Check Valve Diverts FGF to the Reservoir Bag during Inspiration
Key
ventilator relief valve (spill valve)
opens
weight or disk holds valve pathway closed untill bellows are filled then excess gas vented
Peak Inspiratory Pressures
Highest Pressure during the Inspiratory Cycle
Plateau Pressure
Pressure during an Inspiratory Pause
Time of NO Gas Flow But Where Gas Exchange Occurs

Mirrors Static Compliance
Excessive Positive Pressure
Incorrect Ventilator Settings
Ventilation Malfunction
Fresh Gas Coupling
Activation of O2 Flush During Inspiratory Cycle
Scavenger system malfunction
Standard for Pediatric Breathing Circuit is
1.5-2.5 ml/cmH20
Circuits are stiffer
Standard for Adult Breathing Circuit is
5 ml/cmH2O
If PIP is 20cmH2O, about 100ml of set TV is lost to the expanding circuit
* Actual Loss Unpredictable & Depends on Vent, Circuit and PIP
Compression Loss
Accounts for 3% Due to Gas Compression
