Definitions
• High frequency oscillator • A machine which generates an oscillatory waveform at
the airway opening, with the following characteristics: • Frequency above 2 Hz (usually 5-15 Hz) • Active inspiration and expiration • Tidal volumes less than anatomic dead-space
• Frequently characterised by the method of exhalation
Historical perspective
• Scotter et al (1967): diffusion of oxygen through a cylinder augmented by application of an oscillatory waveform to one end
• Lunkenheimer et al (1972): CO2 transport in apnoeic dogs improved if lung exposed to an oscillatory waveform
• Bohn et al (1980): prolonged normocarbia in five beagles using a rudimentary oscillator (possible despite tidal volume 40% of anatomic dead-space
• Butler et al (1980): first report in humans. Four healthy volunteers, and subsequently 12 patients (three days to 74 years) ‘oscillated’ for one hour. CO2 clearance easily achieved, oxygenation stable and pulmonary shunt decreased

Determinants of oxygenation Mean airway pressure
• Oxygenation is determined by lung volume
• The mean airway pressure (Paw) setting is used to determine lung volume by recruiting atelectatic lung units and optimising the alveolar surface area for gas exchange

Determinants of oxygenation Volume history
• Successful application of HFOV is dependent upon ventilation with the lung recruited (open lung strategy, high lung volume strategy)
• Alveolar recruitment manoeuvres are required on initiation of HFOV, and after disconnection/suction
• Regular re-assessment of Paw to ensure continuous ventilation at optimum lung volume

Determinants of oxygenation Impact of Paw on PVR
PVR is increased with: • Atelectasis - loss of support for
extra-alveolar vessels • Overdistension - compression of
alveolar capillary bed

Determinants of CO2 removal CMV vs HFOV
• Alveolar ventilation during CMV is defined as: f x VT
• Alveolar ventilation during HFOV is defined as: f x VT
2
• During HFOV, VT is determined by stroke volume of the ventilator
Determinants of CO2 removal Stroke volume
• The stroke volume will increase if – The amplitude increases – The frequency decreases (longer cycle time)
Stroke volume

Determinants of CO2 removal Amplitude
● The amplitude is created by the distance that the piston/diaphragm moves. This movement results in a gas volume displacement and a visual chest wiggle.
● It may also be described as the peak-to-trough swing around the Paw
• Secondary control of CO2 is provided by the frequency • If the amplitude controls the ‘force’ with which the piston moves, the
frequency controls the time allowed for the piston to move • The lower the frequency setting, the greater the volume displacement • The higher the frequency setting, the smaller the volume displacement
Determinants of CO2 removal Frequency

Determinants of CO2 removal Frequency
• The frequency is generally set according to the size of the patient, and the type of lung disease
• Frequency may need to be adjusted from the initial setting • Frequency is not weaned in the same way as it is during CMV
• decreasing frequency with HFOV actually increases ventilatory support
• Effect of resonant frequency
Determinants of CO2 removal Inspiratory time
• Allows more time for piston travel resulting in larger tidal volume
• More pronounced at lower frequencies

Determinants of CO2 removal Bias flow
• The ventilator bias flow produces the Paw of the system, and also helps to flush the CO2 that accumulates in the circuit during the expiratory phase
• If ventilation is problematic, increasing or decreasing flow may be helpful
