Controlled ventilatory support

•Ventilator does all the WOB

Assisted ventilatory support

•Ventilator and patient share WOB

Assist-control(A/C) ventilation

•Delivers preset VT at preset frequency


When patient initiates a spontaneous breath, preset VT is delivered


Can breathe faster but not slower


Allows some control over ventilation


Riskfor hypoventilation or hyperventilation


Continuous monitoring required

•Synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation (SIMV)

•Delivers preset VT at preset frequency in synchrony with patient’s spontaneous breathing


Between ventilator-delivered breaths, patient is able to breathe spontaneously


Patient receives preset FIO2 but self-regulates rate and volume of spontaneous breaths




Potential benefits:


Improved patient-ventilator synchrony


Lower mean airway pressure


Prevention of muscle atrophy

•Pressure support ventilation (PSV)

Positive pressure applied to airway only during inspiration in conjunction with spontaneous respirations


Machine senses spontaneous effort and supplies rapid flow of gas at initiation of breath


Patient determines inspiratory length, VT, and respiratory rate


Advantages


↑ Patient comfort


↓ WOB


↓ Oxygen consumption


↑ Endurance conditioning

•Airway pressure release ventilation (ARPV)

•Permits spontaneous breathing


Preset CPAP with short timed pressure releases VT varies


Patients with ARDS who need high pressure levels

•Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP)

Positive pressure applied to airway during exhalation, preventing alveolar collapse


↑ Lung volume and functional residual capacity (FRC) improves oxygenation


Maintain or improve oxygenation while limiting risk of O2toxicity




Optimal or best PEEP---PEEP titrated to point oxygenation improves without compromising hemodynamics




Contraindications: Patients with highly compliant lungs, Low cardiac output

•Physiologic PEEP

•5cm H2O


Replaces glottic mechanism, helpsmaintain normal FRC, and prevents alveolar collapse

•Auto-PEEP

•Result of inadequate exhalation time


Additional PEEP over what is set


Results:


•↑ WOB•Barotrauma•Hemodynamic instability




Interventions to Limit Auto-PEEP


•Provide sedation and analgesia


Use large-diameter ET tube


Administer bronchodilators


Set short inspiratory times


↓ Respiratory rate


↓ Water accumulation in ventilator tubing

•Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)

•Restores FRC


Similarto PEEP


Pressure delivered continuously during spontaneous breathing


•Used to treat obstructive sleep apnea




Administered noninvasively by mask, ET, or tracheal tube


↑ WOB: use with caution in patientswith myocardial compromise

•Automatic tube compensation (ATC)

•Used to overcome WOB associated with artificial airway


↑ During inspiration and ↓ during expiration


Set by entering internal diameter of patient’s airway and desired % of compensation

•Bilevel positive airway pressure

•Delivers oxygen and two levels of + pressure support


•Higher inspiratory positive airway pressure


Lower expiratory positive airway pressure




Noninvasive via tight-fitting face mask, nasal mask, or nasal pillows


Patient must be able to breathe spontaneously and cooperate

•High-frequency oscillatory ventilation

•Delivery of a small VT at rapid respiratory rates •Used for refractory hypoxemia and ARDS


•Must sedate and paralyze patient

Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO)

•Alternative form of pulmonary support •Partially remove blood from patient, infuse O2,return blood back to patient


Intensivetherapy




It is used more frequently in the pediatric and neonatal populations but is increasingly being used in adults.


ECMO is a modification of cardiac bypass and involves partially removing blood from a patient with large-bore catheters, infusing O2, removing CO2, and returning the blood back to the patient.


This intensive therapy requires systemic anticoagulation


Time-limited intervention
