Risk calculators and risk factors for Respiratory failure mechanical ventilation

Overview

Mechanical ventilation aims to correct abnormalities in oxygenation of the blood and tissues, reduce the respiratory effort and prevent dynamic hyperinflation. Different modes of ventilation are available to suit each patient's individual needs, such as assisted-control ventilation.

Mechanical ventilation

Mechanical ventilation aims to correct abnormalities in oxygenation of the blood and tissues, reduce the respiratory effort and prevent dynamic hyperinflation.

Principles of Mechanical Ventilation

Indications

  • Life threatening respiratory failure:[2][3][4][5]
    • Severe respiratory failure with failure of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in addition to rapid, shallow breathing, cardiopulmonary arrest, and severe hemodynamic compromise.
  • Failure of noninvasive ventilation:
  • Arterial blood gas abnormalities

Endotracheal intubation

  • Endotracheal intubation acts as the connection between the ventilator and the patient.[6][4]
  • Intubation can be performed endotracheally or through a tracheostomy.
  • The tube must be placed correctly, and this is confirmed through:
  • Proper cuff pressure must be maintained and not exceed 25mmHg
  • The airways should be suctioned to ensure patency of the airway:
    • Suctioning may occur through an open or closed circuit suction catheter.
    • Routine suctioning is not recommended as this may lead to complications such as:
  • The endotracheal tube insertion depth varies by gender and is measured from the lower incisors:
    • In males: 23cm
    • In females: 21cm
  • The tube is affixed in place using tape to prevent accidental extubation or further downward movement toward the main bronchus.

Types of Mechanical Ventilation

Positive pressure and negative pressure ventilation

  • There are two ways in which a pressure gradient may be created to allow air into the lungs:[7][8][3]
    • Increase the air pressure in the bronchi (positive pressure)
    • Decrease pressure in the alveoli (negative pressure)

Controlled and patient-initiated ventilation

  • Ventilatory support may be controlled or patient-initiated:
    • Controlled ventilation will deliver support independent of the patient's respiratory efforts
    • Patient-controlled ventilation allows ventilation to be delivered in sync with the patient's own spontaneous breathing. In this type of ventilation, the patient's breathing is detected through pressure and airflow trigger mechanisms.

Pressure-targeted and volume-targeted ventilation

  • With positive pressure ventilation, pressure or volume may be an independent variable:
    • In volume-targeted ventilation, the tidal volume is set by the physician or respiratory assistant, the pressure in this case is a dependent variable.
      • This means that airway pressure is the result of a set tidal volume and inspiratory volume, along with the patient's lung compliance, resistance and muscular activity.
    • In pressure-targeted ventilation, airway pressure is set, and the volume is dependent.
      • The tidal volume in this scenario is a result of inspiratory time, along with the patient's lung compliance, resistance and muscular activity.

Ventilator Modes

Ventilation modes include:[9][10][11][12][13][14]

  • Pressure support ventilation (PSV)
    • It may be described as patient-initiated and pressure-targeted ventilation.
    • Patients with unstable respiratory drives should not be put on this mode; as the patient's respiratory efforts change, bronchospasm and varying degrees of auto–positive end-expiratory pressure (auto-PEEP) may ensue.
  • Intermittent mandatory ventilation (IMV)
    • This type of ventilation delivers mandatory breaths at a set frequency, tidal volume, and inspiratory flow rate.
    • The patient may still breathe at their own will between the breaths delivered from the machine, and the machine may respond to those breaths.
    • However, IMV has the disadvantage of possibly causing dynamic hyperinflation.
    • This ventilator has since been improved to deliver breathes that are in sync with the patient's own spontaneous breathing efforts and is known as synchronized IMV or SIMV.
  • Assist-control ventilation
    • A fixed tidal volume and inspiratory flow rate is set, regardless of the rate of respiration.
    • Simultaneously, a backup rate is set that delivers a minimum number of breaths per minute.
    • In this way, if the patient does not meet the minimum amount of breaths per minute set, then the machine will take over.
  • Volume-control mode
    • In this type of ventilation, the respiratory rate, tidal volume, and inspiratory flow rate are fixed.
    • Heavily sedated and/or paralyzed patients are recommended for this ventilation mode.
  • Pressure-control mode
    • In this type of ventilation, the airway pressure is raised and then set by a fixed period per minute.
    • A physician or respiratory therapist may also set the inspiratory-to-expiratory (I:E) ratio or the inspiratory time.
    • Heavily sedated and/or paralyzed patients are recommended for this ventilation mode.
  • Pressure-control inverse-ratio ventilation (PCIRV)
    • This ventialtion mode is a variation of pressure-control ventilation.
    • The difference between simple pressure-control ventilation and pressure-control inverse-ratio ventilation is:
      • Inspiration is set to be longer than expiration
      • The I:E ratio doesn't exceed 3:1.
