Mechanical Ventilation From Clinical

Point of View

Abdulsalam Alzahrani , B.S,RRT,MBA


Indications for mechanical ventilation
Due to Respiratory Failure Caused by:

1.Body Mechanical Issues:

Defect in Respiratory Muscles


Defect in Neural system

2. Physiological Issues:

Lung Diseases (Air way resistance or Compliance )


THINGS NEED TO BE SETUP
FiO2: the oxygen delivered by the ventilator during inspiration

Tidal volume (TV or VT) or Pressure


Trigger (sensitivity): The trigger sensitivity refers to a signal the ventilator is
looking for related to initiation or start point in the delivery of a breath.

Respiratory rate (RR or f, for frequency) : the mandatory number of breath


delivered by ventilator per minute. (Normal RR for Adult 12-20)

Inspiratory time (I Time):is the time allotted to deliver the set tidal volume (in
volume control settings) or set pressure (in pressure control settings).
(Normal for Adult 0.75 -1.2 sec)
Positive End Expiratory Pressure (PEEP): is the positive pressure that remains at
the end of exhalation.
Phase variables
 Parameters which control the phases of a mechanical breath.:

 The trigger variable determines how and when the ventilator ends exhalation
and commenced inhalation.

 The limit (Targeted) variable restrict the maximum value which the
parameters can achieve during inspiration

 The cycling variable is measured during the inspiratory phase; it is the


mechanism used to end inspiration and commence expiration
Basic Modes of Ventilation
Volume control – Assist control (AC/VC):
The clinician sets a desired volume (6-8ml/kg). volume is constant
while pressure changes with changes in compliance and resistance.

Patients receive same parameters as set by the clinician, with every


breath. By the ventilator. (controlled mode)

They may take additional breaths, or over-breathe, but every breath


will deliver the same set parameters. (Assist Controlled )
Cont- Basic Modes of Ventilation
Pressure control- Assist control(AC/PC) :
the clinician sets a desired pressure, Pressure is constant while
volume and flow changes with changes in compliance and
resistance.

Patients receive the same breath, with the same parameters as set
by the clinician, with every breath

They may take additional breaths, or over-breathe, but every


breath will deliver the same set parameters
Cont-Basic Modes of Ventilation
SIMV: Type of intermittent mandatory ventilation
settings can be volume controlled (SIMV-VC) or pressure
controlled (SIMV-PC)
each mandatory breath in SIMV will deliver the identical set
parameters
Additional spontaneous breaths can be generated by patient.
 spontaneous breaths in this mode of ventilation will have more
variable tidal volumes, based on patient and airway factors.

Volume Rate FiO2 PEEP

Minute Ventilation = is the amount of air the patient moves in one minute; it is a
product of the ventilatory rate and tidal volume
Mechanical Ventilation in COVID-19
and low tidal volume protocol
Target tidal volume 4–6 mL/kg PBW for patients with ARDS.

Avoid the use of Zero PEEP.

Use positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) settings ≥ 5 cm H20.


Respiratory Rate
Using Low Vt may require increased respiratory rates to prevent
excessive Hypercapnia .

Maintain minute ventilation as best as possible.

May need to increase to 30 breaths per minute or more.
