MECHANICAL VENTILATIONIN
ARDS / ALI
Dr. V.P.Chandrasekaran,
A&E(VINAYAKA)
ARDS
Clinical syndrome ofSevere dyspnea of rapid onsetHypoxemia Diffuse pulmonary infiltrates
leading to respiratory failure.
A&E(VINAYAKA)
ALI
A less severe disorder but has the potential to evolve into ARDS
A&E(VINAYAKA)
DIAGNOSING CRITERIA
Acute onsetChest X Ray - Acute Bilateral alveolar or interstitial infiltrates PaO2/FIO2 < 300 mmHg - ALI
PaO2/FIO2 < 200 mmHg - ARDS
PCWP < 18 mmHg or CVP < 12 mmH2O

Goals of ventilation
To improve O2 & CO2 gas exchange
Alveolar recruitment
To assist respiratory muscles
To improve the lung compliance

Requires Mechanical ventilation
Goals?To improve oxygenation
Alveolar recruitment
To assist respiratory muscles
To improve the lung compliance
A&E(VINAYAKA)
To improve Oxygenation
More inspiratory timeOptimum PEEPHigher FiO2 - initially
A&E(VINAYAKA)
Alveolar recruitment
Optimum PEEPMore inspiratory timeLow rate
A&E(VINAYAKA)
Protective ventilation
Smaller tidal volumes Avoid overdistentionTolerate “permissive hypercarbia”
“Open lung” ventilation with PEEP
Avoid alveolar collapse and reopening
A&E(VINAYAKA)
Collapse/ atelectosis/ ARDS
Increases Surface area for gas exchangeOpens the collapsed lung
Collapsed alveoli
After PEEP
PEEP
A&E(VINAYAKA)
To assist respiratory muscles
Ventilator supportIf needed to rest respiratory muscles with paralysis
A&E(VINAYAKA)
To improve the lung compliance
To keep the PEEP above the lower inflection pointParalysisPressure control mode
A&E(VINAYAKA)
Optimal “PEEP”
Positive end-expiratory pressure should be high enough to shift the end-expiratory pressure above the lower inflection point by 2-3 cm H2O (usually 12-15 cm H2O)Allows maximal alveolar
recruitmentDecreases injury by repeated
opening and closing of small airways

Will it result in Respiratory acidosis?Yes. But still needed…!

ARDS:Permissive Hypercapnoea
Permissive hypercapniapH >7.2PCo2 <80mmHg
ContraindicationHypotensionBrain injuryBarotrauma
A&E(VINAYAKA)
Watch for
Barotrauma / pneumothoraxHypercapnoeaRespiratory acidosis
A&E(VINAYAKA)
What to do if PCo2 raises above 80 mmHg
or pH <7.2Increase VtDecrease PEEPIncrease rateDecrease inspiratory time
And reassess
A&E(VINAYAKA)
If signs of pneumothorax appearsICDIf tension pneumothorax – needle decompression - ICD
A&E(VINAYAKA)
What to do if saturation does not improve?
Increase PEEPIncrease Inspiratory time (Inverse)Increase FiO2Increase Vt
A&E(VINAYAKA)
Why should I aim for low FiO2 <60
High FiO2 can result in oxygen toxicity and free radical injury and further precipitate ARDS and MOF
A&E(VINAYAKA)
Treat the cause
Avoid frequent suctioning
Frequent ABG assesment
