2 MECHANICAL VENTILATION ABOLUDE M. O. Department of Anaesthesia, Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria. Copyright- Frontiers of Ikeja Surgery, 2016; 2:3 2

3 INTRODUCTION CLASSIFICATION INDICATION FOR MECHANICAL VENTILATION (MV) TYPES OF VENTILATOR MODES OF VENTILATOR COMPLICATIONS OF MV/MGT CONCLUSION Copyright- Frontiers of Ikeja Surgery, 2016; 2:3 3

4 INTRODUCTION A METHOD TO MECHANICALLY ASSIST OR REPLACE SPONTANEOUS BREATHING FIRST DESCRIBED- GALEN ALSO VESALIUS AND GORGE POE Type I respiratory failure- low oxygen, and normal or low carbon dioxide levels Type II respiratory failure- low oxygen, with high carbon dioxide Copyright- Frontiers of Ikeja Surgery, 2016; 2:3 4

5 PRINCIPLES OF VENTILATION 1. NEGATIVE-PRESSURE VENTILATION ALSO KNOWN AS DRINKER AND SHAW TANK DEVELOPED IN 1929 REFINED DURING POLIO EPIDEMIC 1940 PRINCIPLES=VACCUM-AIR INFLOW 2. POSITIVE-PRESSURE VENTILATION PPV CAN BE CLASSIFIED INTO: 1. NON-INVASIVE POSITIVE PRESSURE VENTILATION(NIPPV) A METHOD OF POSITIVE PRESSURE VENTILATION WITHOUT USE OF ETT AN EXAMPLE IS WATER S CIRCUIT 2. INVASIVE POSITIVE PRESSURE VENTILATION Copyright- Frontiers of Ikeja Surgery, 2016; 2:3 5

6 GUIDELINES FOR MV RESPIRATORY GAS TENSION DIRECT INDCES: -PaO2 < 50mmHg or PaCO2 >50mmHg in absence of metabolic acidosis DERIVED INDICES: -PaO2/FiO2 < 300mmHg MODES OF MECHANICAL VENTILATORS 1. PRESSURED-CYCLE VENTILATORS: delivers inspired gas to the lungs until a preset pressure level is reached 2. VOLUME-CYCLED VENTILATORS: DELIVERS A PRESET TIDAL VOLUME TO THE PATIENT REGARDLESS OF THE PRESSSURE REQUIRED TYPES OF MECHANICAL VENTILATORS 1. TRANSPORT VENTILATORS 2. ICU VENTILATORS 3. NICU VENTILATORS Copyright- Frontiers of Ikeja Surgery, 2016; 2:3 6

7 MODES OF MECHANICAL VENTILATORS COMMON MODES OF VENTILATION 1. CMV (controlled mech. Ventilation) 2. ACV (assist-controlled ventilation) 3. IMV (intermittent mandatory ventilation) 4. SIMV (synchronised IMV) 5. PCV (pressure-controlled ventilation) 6. PSV (pressure-support ventilation) 7. IRV (inverse ratio ventilation) 8. HFV (High-frequency ventilation) ADJUNCT MODES PEEP- Positive end-expiratory pressure CPAP- continuous positive airway pressure BiPAP- bilevel positive airway pressure Copyright- Frontiers of Ikeja Surgery, 2016; 2:3 7

10 INDICATIONS FOR MV 1. HYPOXIA (HYPOXIC FAILURE) TYPE I -Pneumonia -Pulmonary edema from any cause -CVA -ARDS -Acute lung injury -Muscular dystrophies -Pneumothorax -COPD, shock, Sepsis, Hypotension 2. VENTILATORY FAILURE TYPE II -Drug overdose(opiates,narcotics) -Head injury -CVA -Gullian Barre -Poliomyelitis -Muscular dystrophies -Amyotropic muscular sclerosis -Myaesthenia gravis -Kyphoscoliosis Copyright- Frontiers of Ikeja Surgery, 2016; 2:3 10

11 MODES OF MV CMV: -USED IN PT WITH NO RESP. EFFORT -PRESET RESP. FREQUENCY & VT -HEAVILY SEDATED AND PARALYSED -UNCONSCIOUS PATIENT, APNEIC ACV: - PATIENT CAN BREATH -DELIVERS A SET MINIMUM NUMBER OF MANDATORY BREATHS IF SPONTANEOUS R.R FALLS BELOW PRESET SIMV: -THIS MODE PREVENTS THE STACKING OF BREATHS -BY TIMIMING MECHANICAL BREATHS TO COINCIDE WITH SPONTANEOUS BREATH IMV: ALLOWS PATIENT TO BREATHE SPONTANEOUSLY THROUGH THE CIRCUIT WHILE THE VENTILATOR INTERMITTENTLY DELIVERS POSITIVE-PRESSURE AT A PRESET TIDAL VOLUME AND FREQUENCY A MODE FOR WEANING PATIENT OF VENTILATOR LESS BAROTRAUMA Copyright- Frontiers of Ikeja Surgery, 2016; 2:3 11

12 INITIAL VENTILATOR SETTINGS PEEP = 5cm H2O VT = 7-10ml/kg INSP. PRESSURE = 20cm H2O FREQUENCY = 10-15/min I:E RATIO = 1:2 PRESSURE TRIGGER = -2cmH2O FLOW TRIGGER = 2L/min INITIAL FiO2 = 100% PRESSURE SUPPORT = 15cm H2O Copyright- Frontiers of Ikeja Surgery, 2016; 2:3 12
