History of APRV
APRV is a new way to administer simultaneously a supportive level of CPAP and assist CO2 elimination (1987)

Tremendous variation in setting of APRV Impossible to assess efficacy of a single strategy since almost none of the APRV setting were identical
APRV Strategies Fixed ( F-APRV) Personalised P-APRV T High CPAP < 90% of total cycle time. T Low Fixed T Low, not base on changing of lung mechanic P Low P low is set > 0 cmh2o T High T Low P Low CPAP > 90% of total cycle time T low is set by the changes in the lung mechanic by analysing the slope of the expiratory flow curve P low is set at 0 cmh2o

APRV is named in various way and can be set in machine with BIPAP mode 1. APRV ( Dragger Evita, Savina and V series, Hamilton G5 ) 2. Bi-Vent ( Maquet Servo-I ) 3. BiLevel ( Engstrom carestation, Puriton Bennett 840 & 980, Covidien) 4. APRV/BiPhasic ( Viasys Avea ) 5. DuoPAP ( Hamilton )
WHY APRV?
Features of APRV Elevated CPAP Level Time Pressure Release Spontaneous breathing
High Level CPAP in APRV Open the lung and keep it open Prolonged CPAP ( P High )--- recruiting the lung Never let the lung collapse Minimal release duration ( T Low ) preventing lung collapse

How does elevated CPAP recruit the lung in APRV?
Pores of Kohn Intra Alveolar communication Fowley and Habashi et al AACN 2001
How does high CPAP level changes lung volume? Changing in alveolar volume? changing alveolar numbers
inflate Numbers of alveoli Size of the alveoli Alveoli wall length/ microstrain
Mother and Daughter hypothesis Increasing the numbers of ( less strained) alveoli
Group C Group B Group A -- Sham Group B -- LTV Group C --APRV Tidal volume 10 ml/kg PEEP 5 cmh2o Rate 12 bpm FiO2 = 21% Low tidal volume group Tidal volume 4 to 6 ml/kg PEEP according to PEEP/FiO2 table APRV with tidal volume of 10 ml/kg

PVR and Safe Zone Correlation
Toronto Sick Kid ( 2007 to 2009) Prospective crossover cohort study Recruited 20 patients : 9 TOF and 11 cavo-pulmonary shunt Measure lung perfusion and cardiac output
Elevated CPAP Level Gradually recruit lung to achieve FRC via collateral respiration Reduction of micro-strain to the alveoli that prevent ventilator induced lung injury At FRC, improve pulmonary perfusion and oxygen delivery
Features of APRV Elevated CPAP Level Time Pressure Release Spontaneous breathing
Intermitent release ( T low ) Setting T PEFR ( EEFR/PEFR ) 50 to 75% with P Low of 0 cmh20 Determine the amount of end expiratory lung volume ( EELV) that is retained. Maintained alveolar stability
Expiratory flow pattern of different pathology with PEEP of 0 cmh2o a - normal lung b - restrictive c - obstructive PEFR = Peak expiratory flow rate EELV = End expiratory lung volume Lung will collapse if expiratory time is too short in restrictive lung e.g. ARDS
More restrictive lung shorter T Low
Despite P low is 0 cm H2O Actual tracheal pressure never reach 0 cmh2o (Green line) AutoPEEP which maintain alveolar stability
APRV ventilation at T-PEFR 75% There is only 10% of variation of alveolar volume between end inspiration and release phase at injured animal lung model
Normal alveoli No stain Alveoli duct and alveoli sac Alveolus
Injured rat model
Time Pressure Release Titration based on lung mechanic that maintained stability of lung At T-PEFR of 75%, there is significant reduce in conducting airway microstrain
Features of APRV Elevated CPAP Level Time Pressure Release Spontaneous breathing
Spontaneous breathing at APRV Spontaneous breathing enhance cardiopulmonary and organ perfusion benefit. Spontaneous breathing without pressure support favor gas distribution to dependent area
APRV
Wide variety of APRV setting have all been used in literature making comparison between studies difficult PubMed Search 1987 to 2015 Excluding NIV, review, editorials and case studies (52 articles) 60 Study designs are mainly Cossover Randomized prospective Retrospective case control Retrospective review 28 human studies 32 animal studies
1. None of the studies reviewed showed a worse outcome using APRV as compared with CPPV 2. Many studies showing significant benefits in cardiopulmonary variables 3. P-APRV personalized, adaptive mechanical breath may prove more efficacious at treating and preventing ARDS than the current standard of care 4. More studies are needed using consistent and well-defined settings to identify the optimal APRV breath necessary to maximize lung protection

Conclusion from current evidence 1. Tremendous variation in setting of APRV, most of the study regarding the setting were physiology concept, animal data and small clinical trial 2. Impossible to assess efficacy of a single strategy since almost none of the APRV setting were identical. 3. Studies compare between APRV and CPPV did not show worse outcome but showing significant benefit in cardiopulmonary variables. 4. Personalized APRV (P-APRV) may prove more efficacious at treating and preventing ARDS. 5. APRV reduces sedation and neuromuscular blocker requirements
