CMV/AC


continuous mech vent


assist control

delivers preset tidal volume or pressure


in response to P inspiratory effort


initiates breath if P fails to do so

Volume-controlled (VC) CMV is used as the


primary mode of ventilation in:

spontaneously breathing patients with weak respiratory muscles.

Pressure-controlled (PC) CMV is used in:

in patients with decreased lung compliance or increased airway resistance, particularly when the patient is at risk for volutrauma.

Intermittent mandatory (volume or pressure) ventilation (IMV), also known as synchronous intermittent mandatory ventilation (SIMV):

delivers gas at preset tidal volume or pressure and rate while allowing patient to breathe spontaneously; ventilator breaths are synchronized to patient's respiratory effort

Pressure-regulated volume control ventilation (PRVCV):

a variation of CMV


>combines volume and pressure features;


>delivers a preset tidal volume using the lowest possible airway pressure;


>***airway pressure will not exceed preset maximum pressure limit

PRVCV is used in patients with:

rapidly changing pulmonary mechanics


>(airway resistance and lung compliance),


>>>limiting potential complications

Intermittent mandatory (volume or pressure) ventilation (IMV),




also known as synchronous intermittent mandatory ventilation (SIMV):

delivers gas at preset tidal volume or pressure and rate while allowing patient to breathe spontaneously;




- ventilator breaths are synchronized to patient's respiratory effort

Adaptive support ventilation (ASV):

ventilator automatically adjusts settings to


maintain 100 mL/min/kg of minute ventilation; pressure support

Constant positive airway pressure (CPAP):

positive pressure applied during spontaneous breaths;




patient controls rate, inspiratory flow, and tidal volume

Pressure support ventilation (PSV):

preset positive pressure used to augment patient's inspiratory efforts;




patient controls rate, inspiratory flow, and tidal volume

normal RR set

6-20/min



typical tidal volume

10 - 12 mL/kg

tidal volume for P with ALI

6 - 8 mL/kg

FiO2

21% - 100%




to maintain PaO2 <60 mmHg and SpO2 > 90%

typical PEEP

3 - 5 cm H2O

Typical Pressure Support PS


positive pressure used to augment patient's


insiratory efforts

5 - 10 cm H2O

Inspiratory flow rate and time

40 - 80 L/min

I : E ratio

1:2 or 1:1.5

Pressure sensitivity

0.5-1.5 cm H2O below baseline pressure

Flow trigger:

1-3 L/min below baseline flow

high pressure limit

RSBI < 105


rapid shallow breathing index

considered predictive of weaning success

Indications of weaning intolerance

SBP +/- 20 mm Hg• DBP > 100 mm Hg


HR + 20 beats/min•


PVCs >6/min, couplets, or runs of v- tach Changes in ST segment (usually elevation)


RR>30/min or < 10/min or RR + by 10/min


Spontaneous Vt < 250 mL•


Paco2 increased by 5 to 8 mm Hg and/or pH less than 7.30• Spo2 less than 90%• Use of accessory muscles• dyspnea, fatigue, or pain• Paradoxical chest wall motion or chest abdominal asynchrony• Diaphoresis• Severe anxiety
