Objective:
To evaluate the influences of respiratory muscle efforts and respiratory rate setting in the ventilator on tidal volume and alveolar distending pressures at end inspiration and expiration in volume-controlled ventilation and pressure-controlled ventilation modes in acute respiratory distress syndrome.
Methods:
An active test lung (ASL 5000™) connected to five intensive care unit ventilators was used in a model of acute respiratory distress syndrome. Respiratory muscle efforts (muscle pressure) were configured in three different ways: no effort (muscle pressure: 0cmH2O); inspiratory efforts only (muscle pressure:-5cmH2O, neural inspiratory time of 0.6s); and both inspiratory and expiratory muscle efforts (muscle pressure:-5/+5cmH2O). Volume-controlled and pressure-controlled ventilation modes were set to deliver a target tidal volume of 420mL and positive end-expiratory pressure of 10cmH2O. The tidal volume delivered to the lungs, alveolar pressures at the end of inspiration, and alveolar pressures at end expiration were evaluated.
Results:
When triggered by the simulated patient, the median tidal volume was 27mL lower than the set tidal volume (range-63 to +79mL), and there was variation in alveolar pressures with a median of 25.4cmH2O (range 20.5 to 30cmH2O). In the simulated scenarios with both spontaneous inspiratory and expiratory muscle efforts and with a mandatory respiratory rate lower than the simulated patient’s efforts, the median tidal volume was higher than controlled breathing.
Conclusion:
Adjusting respiratory muscle effort and pulmonary ventilator respiratory rate to a value above the patient’s respiratory rate in assisted/controlled modes generated large variations in tidal volume and pulmonary pressures, while the controlled mode showed no variations in these outcomes.
