Pappl = (VxE) + (V'xR)

Pappl = Paw + Pmus

Pappl = (VxE) + (V'xR) = Pel + Pres

Gain

G: gains for volume (VA) and flow (FA)VA is a fraction (percentage) of Ers, and FA is a fraction of Rrs

CRITERIA FOR WEANING TRIAL

-Resolution of the pathologie requiringintubation-No sign of ARD-Fi02 50%-SaO2 ≥ 90%-Conscious patient-No vasopressor, haemodynamic stability

Adjust FiO2 and PEEP

According to:-Oxygenation (SpO2, PaO2)- Underlying respiratory disease

How to adjust the Gain 1

Standard settings

Assess Pmus

Pmus < 5 cmH2O 5 Pmus 10 cmH2O Pmus > 10 cmH2O

Decrease Gain in steps of 10%

Optimal WOB area.Decrease Gain in steps of 5% while Pmus remains in this area.

Increase Gain in steps of 10%

Initiating PAV+

INITIAL SETTINGS-Gain: 50%-Inspiratory trigger: 1 l/min-Expiratory trigger: 1%-FiO2 et PEEP: no specific rule

ALARMS-Paw max: 40 cmH2O-RR: 40/min-Vte max: 10 ml/kg-Vte min: 0 ml

If appears, while Pmus is in the optimal area

-Signs of ARD-Vte < 5 ml/kg-Respiratory acidosis

Increase Gain in steps of 10%

-Vte > 10 ml/kg-Respiratory alcalosis

Decrease Gain in steps of 10%

Conclusions

• Many patients tolerate PAV+ ventilation over several days

• Setting PAV+ to target a « normal » level of effort seems feasible

• The target is reached in 85% of the cases

• Refinement of the Paw criteria may benecessary
