Ventilation
Carbon Dioxide
PaCO2= k * metabolic production
alveolar minute ventilation
Alveolar MV = resp. rate * effective tidal vol.
Effective TV = TV - dead space
Dead Space = anatomic + physiologic
Oxygenation
Oxygen:
Minute ventilation is the amount of fresh
gas delivered to the alveolus
Partial pressure of oxygen in alveolus
(PAO2) is the driving pressure for gas
exchange across the alveolar-capillary
barrier
PAO2 = ({Atmospheric pressure - water
vapor}*FiO2) - PaCO2 / RQ
Match perfusion to alveoli that are well
ventilated
Hemoglobin is fully saturated 1/3 of the
way thru the capillary
Oxygenation
http://www.biology.eku.edu/RITCHISO/301notes6
.htm
The sigmoidal shape of the oxygen disassociation
curve is of critical importance. Hemoglobin can
only carry so much oxygen (1.34 ml per gram of
hemoglobin) regardless of high the PaO2 may
be. Furthermore, dissolved oxygen contributes
very little to oxygen content (0.003 ml
oxygen/dL/mmHg PaO2 ).
As a result, increasing the PaO2 oxygen in
oxygenated blood cannot overcome the effect
of shunted blood that is deoxygenated and the
patient will be desaturated to a degree
proportional to the magnitude of the shunt
CO2 vs. Oxygen
The disassociation curve for carbon dioxide is far
more linear and is steeper. As a result, there is
much less of a limit on how much carbon
dioxide can be carried by hemoglobin and
exchanged at the alveolar-capillary barrier.
Since carbon dioxide is also far more soluble than
oxygen (by a factor of 20), dissolved CO2
contributes significantly -about 10% - to the
amount that is exchanged at the alveolus.
For these reasons, PaCO2is not affected by shunt
or diffusion barriers as is oxygen (and explains
why a child with cyanotic heart disease is
hypoxemic but not hypercarbic).
Abnormal Gas Exchange
Hypoxemia can be Hypercarbia can be
due to: due to:
hypoventilation hypoventilation
V/Q mismatch V/Q mismatch
shunt
diffusion
impairments

Ventilator Settings
qSigh
may be included as part of the ventilator settings
a breath that has a greater volume than the preset
VT , usually 1.5 to 2.0 times the VT
No longer routinely used

an assisted breath (inspiration)

usually set at 1 :2, may be manipulated to
facilitate gas exchange

qAdvantages
§Guaranteed minute ventilation or peak pressure
qDisadvantages
§No patient interaction. The patient can not initiate a
breath
Assist/Control Ventilation
The ventilator delivers a pre-determined VT (volume or pressure
targeted) with each inspiratory effort generated by the patient. A back-
up frequency is set to insure a minimum VE
qAdvantages
§Patient can increase VE by increasing respiratory
rate
qDisadvantages
§Dys-synchrony
§Respiratory alkalosis
§Dynamic hyperinflation

•
Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory
Ventilation (SIMV)
The ventilator delivers a pre-determined VT (volume or pressure
targeted) at a preset frequency and allows the patient to take
spontaneous breaths between ventilator breaths. Spontaneous
breaths may be augmented with pressure support.
qAdvantages
§Decreased mean airway pressure
§Improved venous return
qDisadvantages
§Increased oxygen consumption
§Increased work of breathing
Pressure Control Ventilation
(PCV)
The practitioner sets the maximal pressure obtained by the ventilator
(preset Pressure), frequency and time the pressure is sustained
(inspiratory time). Inspiratory time is set as a percent of the total cycle
or absolute time in seconds.
qAdvantages
§Tidal volume variable with constant peak airway pressure
§Full ventilatory support
§Decreased mean airway pressure
§Control frequency
qDisadvantages
§Requires sedation or paralysis
§Ventilation does not change in response to clinical changing
needs
High Frequency Ventilation
High frequency ventilation is broadly defined as ventilatorysupport using small
tidal volumes with high respiratory rates. Initially used in children, now used in
adults who cannot be effectively ventilated with conventional methods.
qAdvantages
§Use small tidal volumes at very lower peak inspiratory pressures
§May be associated with lower incidence of pneumothorax
§Improves gas exchange in infants with RDS at lower airway pressures
than conventional ventilation
§Can reduce flow through a bronchopleural fistula and may promote its
healing
qDisadvantages
§Gas trapping
§Necrotizing tracheobronchitis when used in the absence of adequate
humidification
Pressure Support Ventilation (PSV)
The ventilator delivers a predetermined level of positive pressure
each time the patient initiates a breath. A plateau pressure is
maintained until inspiratory flow rate decreases to a specified level
(e.g. 25% of the peak flow value).
qAdvantages
§The flow rate, inspiratory time, and frequency are
variable and determined by the patient
§Decreased inspiratory work
§Enhanced muscle reconditioning
§
qDisadvantages
§Requires spontaneous respiratory effort
§Delivered volumes affected by changes in
compliance
Positive End Expiratory Pressure (PEEP)
PEEP is the application of positive pressure to change baseline
variable during CMV, SIMV, IMV and PCV. PEEP is primarily used
to improve oxygenation in patients with severe hypoxemia.
qAdvantages
§Improves oxygenation by increasing FRC
§Decreases physiological shunting
§Improved oxygenation will allow the FIO2 to be lowered
§Increased lung compliance
§
qDisadvantages
§Increased incidence of pulmonary brotrauma
§Potential decrease in venous return
§Increased work of breathing
§Increased intracranial pressure
§
Continuous Positive Airway pressure
(CPAP)
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure is simply a spontaneous
breath mode, with the baseline pressure elevated above zero.
qAdvantages
§Improves oxygenation by increasing FRC
§Decreases physiological shunting
§Improved oxygenation will allow the FIO2 to be
lowered
§Increased lung compliance
§
qDisadvantages
§Increased incidence of pulmonary brotrauma
§Potential decrease in venous return
§Increased work of breathing
§Increased intracranial pressure
§
Inverse Ratio Ventilation (IRV)
qThe ventilator delivers a prolonged inspiration with a
proportionately shorter expiratory time. The I:E ratio of each
respiratory cycle is 1:1.
qIRV ventilation may be accomplished in a pressure controlled,
time cycled mode (PCV-IRV) or a volume cycled mode (VCV-IRV)
q
§PCV-IRV
•Peak pressure and I-time or I:E ratio are
set
•Flow is decelerating
•Tidal volume is variable
§VCV-IRV
•Achieved by applying an inspiratory
pause, decreasing the flow rate or applying
a decelerating flow pattern

qAdvantages qDisadvantages
§ Maintains elevated § Auto - PEEP
mean airway § Exacerbation of hemo-
pressure, while dynamic instability
maintaining safe § Barotrauma
peak alveolar § Requires deep sedation

§ Recruitment of lung § Changes in lung
