OverviewOverview• Characteristics of modes
– Pressure control vs volume control– Graphical representations of modes
• Breath types– Mandatory vs spontanous– Assisted vs unassisted
• Breathing patterns– Definitions, indications, examples– Graphical representations
• Computer control of mechanical ventilation

Control VariablesControl Variables
Ventilator can control only one variable at a timeIndependent variable is control variable
Pvent = E x V + R x V

Volume ControlVolume Control
• Tidal volume and flow preset• Airway pressure changes with lung
mechanics• Advantage:
– Minute ventilation and gas exchange stable• Disadvantage:
– Volume and flow may not be optimal
![Page 6: Mechanical Ventilation - Welcome to the Wisconsin Society for](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071601/613d347e736caf36b75a9059/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Pressure ControlPressure Control• Airway pressure preset• Volume and flow change with lung
mechanics• Advantage:
– Better patient flow synchrony– Possibly better oxygenation– Potentially reduced risk of volutrauma
• Disadvantage:– Gas exchange may not be stable

Dual ControlDual Control• Volume control to Pressure Control:
– Attempts to deliver a constant tidal volume while limiting peak pressure
• Pressure control to Volume Control: – Attempts to limit peak pressure but assures tidal
volume delivery• Disadvantage:
– Requires high degree of understanding– Difficult to adjust and maintain

Definition of Assisted BreathDefinition of Assisted Breath
• Assisted– Ventilator does work on patient.
• Un-Assisted– Ventilator does no work on patient.
• Loaded (work imposed on patient)– Patient does work on ventilator.
![Page 15: Mechanical Ventilation - Welcome to the Wisconsin Society for](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071601/613d347e736caf36b75a9059/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
Identification of Assisted BreathsIdentification of Assisted Breaths
• Assisted– Airway pressure rises above baseline during
inspiration (or falls below baseline during expiration).
• Un-Assisted– Airway pressure stays constant during inspiration
or expiration.• Loaded (work imposed on patient)
– Airway pressure falls below baseline during inspiration and rises above baseline during expiration.

Potential ConfusionPotential Confusion
• An assisted breath may be spontaneous or mandatory
• A spontaneous breath may be assisted or unassisted
• A mandatory breath is assisted by definition

Continuous Mandatory Continuous Mandatory Ventilation (CMV)Ventilation (CMV)
• Mandatory breaths– Machine triggered and/or machine cycled
• Spontaneous breaths– During mandatory breaths only, not between
• Key clinical concept– Level of support independent of frequency (if
patient is breathing)
![Page 20: Mechanical Ventilation - Welcome to the Wisconsin Society for](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071601/613d347e736caf36b75a9059/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
20
Intermittent Mandatory Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (IMV)Ventilation (IMV)
• Mandatory breaths– Machine triggered and/or machine cycled
• Spontaneous breaths– Between and during mandatory breaths
• Key clinical concept– Level of support is proportional to set frequency
(if spontaneous breaths unassisted)– Historically used as a mode of weaning
![Page 21: Mechanical Ventilation - Welcome to the Wisconsin Society for](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071601/613d347e736caf36b75a9059/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
Continuous Spontaneous Continuous Spontaneous Ventilation (CSV)Ventilation (CSV)
• All breaths spontaneous– Patient triggered and cycled– No backup rate in case of apnea
• Breaths may or may not be assisted– Full support may be achieved (if no apnea)

VCVC--CMVCMV• Often referred to as “Assist/Control”• Characteristics
– VC results in more even distribution of ventilation among lung units with equal resistance and unequal compliance than PC
– Selection of flow and sensitivity is critical• Indications
– Need for total ventilatory support– Need for precise regulation of blood gases
• Example– Precise regulation of PaCO2 in patients with traumatic
brain injury

Tactical ControlTactical Control• All the modes discussed so far• All require the operator to set
– Pressure (PIP, PEEP)– Volume (tidal volume, minute ventilation)– Flow (peak inspiratory flow)– Time (inspiratory time, frequency, I:E)
![Page 46: Mechanical Ventilation - Welcome to the Wisconsin Society for](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071601/613d347e736caf36b75a9059/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

Strategic ControlStrategic Control• Characteristics
– Breathing pattern may be PC-CMV, PC-IMV, PC-CSV– Pressure limit automatically adjusted to compensate for
changes in compliance to meet target tidal volume• Indications
– (Self) Weaning– Reduce work of breathing or stabilize oxygenation– Reduce clinician workload
• Examples– Post-operative patients with normal lungs– Mixed ICU patients– COPD exacerbation

• Optimum control • Clinician enters
– Patient ideal body weight– Percent of predicted minute ventilation to support
• Ventilator monitors minute ventilationlung mechanics (expiratory time constant)
• Automatically adjusts minute ventilation mandatory breath frequency pressure limit inspiratory time
• Sets frequency to minimize WOB as if patient was breathing spontaneously

Commercial ExampleCommercial Example• SmartCare (Dräger Evita XL)
– Knowledge Based Control1. Automatically adjust pressure support: breathing rate, tidal
volume and end tidal CO2. 2. Automatically test patient tolerance of a lower pressure
support level without leaving the comfort zone.3. Attempts “extubation” with PS at resistive WOB.
• Artificial intelligence– Fuzzy logic interprets patient condition– Rule based expert system treats condition
• Operator sets – patient weight – history (neuro or COPD)– type of airway

Characteristics of a ModeCharacteristics of a Mode
1. Breathing Pattern– Control variable– Breath sequence
2. Control Type– Setpoint, auto-setpoint, servo, adaptive, optimal
knowledge based
3. Specific Control Strategy– Phase variables– Operational logic
